Federal Firefighters
We can help federal firefighters injured in the course of their responsibilities.
Whether you were responding to wildfires, structural fires, hazardous materials, medical emergencies, equipment maintenance, or even refugee assistance, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
Unfortunately, fire fighters are often exposed to toxic fumes and chemicals. Aside from the health concerns, many fire fighters are unaware of the statute of limitations that runs against any occupational exposure claim. As a fire fighter, you have only 3 years from either
the date of the exposure to harmful substances, or
known or should have known your medical conditions were caused by your work responsibilities.
While 3 years seems like a long time, unfortunately a large proportion of federal firefighters suffer from conditions that take years to develop before they seek help. This is why having the right people on your side can make all the difference when it comes to whether you have a compensable claim.
