Wrist Injury at Work Leads to a Permanent Impairment

A dedicated university police officer suffered a severe wrist injury after a bad fall at work. She instinctively used her wrist to break the fall, causing significant damage. Despite undergoing two surgeries by a hand specialist and orthopedic surgeon, she was left with limited use of her wrist—a permanent injury that changed her career forever.

The Impact of a Permanent Injury

Her role required physically demanding tasks, such as carrying a firearm, breaking up altercations, and ensuring campus safety. Unfortunately, the injury meant she could no longer perform these duties, forcing her to step away from a job she had served with commitment.

How We Helped Her Move Forward

After receiving years of workers’ compensation benefits in Washington, D.C., we successfully negotiated a settlement for her claim. This settlement provided her with the financial resources to transition into a new career and covered future wage loss caused by her limited wrist function. Our dedication to helping this family continued—a few years later, we also assisted her son with a work-related injury.
