As the oldest workers’ compensation law firm in San Jose, our attorneys at the Johnson Law Firm have been helping first responders pursue benefits for many decades. Whether you are a firefighter, police officer, EMT, paramedic or other first responder, we can guide you through the claims process and help you overcome any obstacles or setbacks you face in obtaining benefits.
Emergency Personnel Are At Risk For Severe Injuries
You put your life on the line to protect and serve our communities, in scenarios that put you in danger of harm to yourself. We have represented many first responders injured on the job, including:
- Burns and toxic exposures from firefighting or fire rescues
- Bone fractures and severe lacerations
- Back injuries from lifting patients or restraining suspects
- Exposure to hazardous materials
- Psychological trauma from high-stress or life-threatening situations
All these injuries can result in either short-term or long-term disabilities. If you suffer any of these, we can help you pursue the care you need so that you can rest and recover and your family can have peace of mind.
What Workers’ Comp Can Do For First-Responders
By obtaining workers’ compensation as a first responder, you can receive:
- Physical therapy to help you get back to work or perform daily tasks.
- Medication to treat chronic pain or specific physical or mental issues related to your injury.
- Access to psychological counseling or group therapy to address any trauma you experienced on the job.
- Two-thirds of your gross wages so you can take time off work to recover
- Death/disability benefits for your loved ones if your injury results in death or permanent disability
- Coverage for occupational training if your injury leaves you unable to work in your current field.
