Common Police Officer Injuries & Illnesses
Police officers face many daily stressors. Not only are they at risk of injury and illness from direct engagement with the public, but they confront dangerous or violent situations. In addition, police officers need immense emotional endurance to remain unaffected by the traumatic experiences that come as part of the job. However, witnessing or experiencing traumatic events can lead to long-term psychological effects. Common injuries and illnesses police officers may sustain or contract include:
- Cuts and bruises
- Infectious diseases: Hepatitis B, HIV, and other bloodborne diseases
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Broken bones
- Overexertion
- Sprains and strains
- Musculoskeletal injuries
- Stab and puncture wounds
- Back injuries
- Gunshot wounds
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
The environments police officers are exposed to can have a vast range of dangers. It’s important to seek medical attention after injury or illness and to then work with a lawyer. A skilled attorney can help you get the maximum benefits you deserve.
