IDK- the article states there was some negligence that caused the plane to crash which is what resulted in the LEO to be injured when it exploded. It sounds like he was severely injured. The lawsuit seems like a reasonable attempt to pay for his injuries/rehab/pain and suffering. Not sure how much Workers Comp would provide or for how long….
Having gone down this road workman’s comp would’ve covered him for about 2 years. If he wins any settlement then he has to reimburse workman’s comp for their payments to him.
