Directing Traffic
It is not unusual for police officers to be injured while directing traffic at intersections, accident scenes, or construction details. Many of these types of accidents result in so-called “soft tissue injuries,” involving necks, backs, shoulders or knees. However, depending on the severity of the accident, a police officer may suffer from much more serious injuries, such as fractures, spinal injuries, head injuries, scarring, internal bleeding, crushed limbs, and permanent disability. If you have been injured while directing traffic or working at a road job or construction detail, you deserve to becompensated for your injuries. At Ballin & Associates, our Massachusetts police injury attorneys are equipped with the experience, dedication, and drive to obtain the fairest amount of compensation possible for your injuries and other losses.

In accident cases involving details, we have collected compensation for injured officers not only from the offending motorist, but also from the utility or construction company that negligently failed to set up proper work area protection devices. There are numerous state, federal, and company guidelines that regulate the manner in which work area protection needs to be set up, which not only protects the crew, but also the equipment, passing motorists and officer as well. However, it is not unusual for construction companies to violate these guidelines, resulting in the police officer being put in harm's way of approaching traffic.

At Ballin & Associates, we are dedicated to helping police officers who have been injured while directing traffic. Our Massachusetts police injury lawyers are highly experienced in this area of the law, and have been successful in recovering damages for hundreds of clients. When we commit to a case, we personally collect evidence, gather testimony, and investigate the circumstances surrounding the accident. We then take this information and work with insurance companies to build strong and compelling cases on behalf of our clients. Above all, our number one priority is protecting our clients’ best interest, and helping them recover the compensation they deserve.
