Cruiser & Motorcycle Accidents

Police officers spend a great amount of time in their police cruisers or on motorcycles, whether it’s to patrol the streets, respond to a call, or chase down a suspect. However, police officers are not immune to accident or injury. When a police officer gets involved in an accident, the officer may sustain debilitating and life-threatening injuries that can affect their ability to temporarily or permanently perform the essential tasks of police work forcing them to prematurely end their careers.  It is often the case the officer is forced to prematurely return to work due to financial hardship with the injured condition become chronic and is aggravated during long hours in the cruiser and on foot.  At Ballin & Associates, our Massachusetts police injury attorneys are dedicated to helping injured police officers obtain the compensation they need and deserve to cover their medical expenses and lost overtime and detail wages, compensate for their pain and suffering  and help them move forward with their lives after an accident.

At Ballin & Associates, our Massachusetts police injury attorneys represent officers injured in motor vehicle accidents involving cruisers, motorcycles, mountain bikes, and their own personal vehicles. Such accidents include cruisers that are intentionally struck or that collide with a pursued vehicle when the pursued operator slams on the brakes. Other accidents occur when an officer loses control of the cruiser during pursuits and collides with stationary objects or even other cruisers in pursuit. At times, officers are injured while removing drivers and passengers from stopped motor vehicles, while placing stop sticks, and even while running towards a stopped motor vehicle to prevent its flight. Accidents can occur when the offending vehicle leaves the scene—without the driver identifying himself or herself—after striking the officer’s vehicle or causing it to veer off the roadway in a “hit and run” accident.
