Serving Injured Fire Fighters throughout Massachusetts

Ballin & Associates fights to ensure that the brave men and women who protect us from fires are not shortchanged when it comes to compensation for their injuries. For years, injured fire fighters in the Greater Boston area and throughout Massachusetts have gone unaware that they have valuable claims to financial compensation for their pain and suffering, lost overtime pay, and on and off duty injuries which can diminish earning capacity. We provide these much deserved heroes with the representation they need to collect the compensation they are due.

Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 41

Sections 100 and 111F of Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 41 provide that “whenever a firefighter of a city, town, or fire or water district is incapacitated for duty because of injury sustained in the performance of his duty without fault of his own, he shall be granted leave without loss of pay for the period of such incapacity; and is entitled to have all reasonable medical expenses for services which relate back to the injury paid for.”

These same sections authorize an injured fire fighter to make claims for additional compensation against persons who caused their injury. So, if a fire fighter is hurt, the person who caused the hazardous condition or injury to the person who requires rescue can be held liable. Similarly, in cases of exposure to toxic substances and cases involving vehicular negligence, there are circumstances where fire fighters can be awarded additonal compensation.
