I’m in the same boat. I was injured on duty and I lost 25% of my pay and lost my career and left to find a way to support my family. My agency did nothing for me.
@@tomflash7537 …..not much. I always consider the source. You’re just hating cause you wish you could’ve done what I’ve done. Talking smack like that just shows how shallow of a person you are. I had a very successful career up until my injury. I only had a few years left to retire, so people like you are not at my level. I would have to dumb myself down for you to understand.
Jobs only praise individual's when they can squeeze any everything out of you the minute your hurt they can care less about our families or us let's pray for you and this highway patrol officer a full recovery 🙏
When I first switched from being a firefighter/medic to law enforcement I tore my rotator cuff fighting for my life. Department kept giving me BS about why I hadn't been paid yet and eventually told me that there was no proof that I got hurt at work. Finally hired a attorney and got my back pay 6 months later as well as my medical bills paid off. Fought me another 7 years before having to settle out with me for the highest amount ever paid for a torn rotator cuff in the United States at that point. I looked at the representatives for the department and said all you had to do was the right thing and it would've been alot cheaper. Instead you didn't want to do the right thing by giving me what I deserved and it's cost you a fortune. Shortly after they changed the way they handled injuries in the line of duty so no officer ever had to worry about getting paid, prescriptions or medical bills.
5 Star Testing did the same thing to me 25 years ago, when they were present as I got hurt and it was clearly their fault for having me go somewhere w/o telling me how dangerous the footing was. They even had their first lawyer die over the 3 years they tried to fight my tiny medical bill and Worker's Comp JUST BECAUSE they were complete AZZES!
@@uncommonsense5876 They don't always pay, but they pay the disabled vets they approve. They also pay a small amount to the spouses and ex-spouses of those vets. I know this first hand.
When I worked as a soda delivery driver we had several drivers who did that for years. We had one "fair weather" driver who would only work about 2 months in the spring and 2 months in the fall. The other 8 months he would sit home and get 80% of his pay. The finally caught him working as a golf caddy and he was charged with insurance fraud.
He got hurt at work as a police officer. The city has to take care of him. And if they don't, all law, enforcement agencies should step off and refuse to go to work. Because if they do it to him, they'll do it to other police officers when they get hurt at work. The city needs to take care of that law enforcement officer and his family.
@@NeeNee_B. It doesn't matter if he was chasing a suspect or not, he was driving his police motorcycle and working. You don't have to be chasing a suspect to be at work. 🙄 Stop copying and pasting your ignorant comment.
So was it him that crashed.yes ,if he has 6 ms.then nothing then he should have read all this before he took the job, if you think the orther cops should stay home i say yes the city would be better of if the tyrant quit,you need to real see how cop are in the usa,there the biggest killing gang in the usa.thats y we record cops
Although my employer provided accidental/injury insurance I always bought supplemental for peace of mind. It was typically an additional $30 per month. As sad as this story is most people don't realize that they're getting the bare minimum as far as insurance is concerned and it's up to them to fill in those gaps, especially if you're married and have children.
@@ravemaster7405 that's what I'm saying. Not just Bellvue. All counties. Washington gets money, something is definitely going on. The math ain't mathin.
Have you considered that the officer was not on duty while helping with the motorcade? This is the reason why he does not have workers compensation. He was offered pay for an off duty job, he knew the risks.
@@kameljoe21 they can still approve the workers compensation if they push it through. They simply don't because "there are no funds". Maybe Washington does things differently, but in New York, it wouldn't matter. You're on the job point blank.
The Bellevue city council has paid for wrongful deaths and other claims in the past without protracted litigation. Why not help this officer out? The police union also needs to get a better negotiating employee to make sure this doesn't happen again. Don't citizens' taxes go to pay for retired cops medical insurance benefits? Maybe for just WSP officers and not Bellevue PD.
Your answer explains why they cant perfectly...The "citizens", pay it!!! Do tell what you think happens when the miracle citizens can no longer afford to pay it...? That's right; They move somewhere else, and let the city rot in decay of uncovered medical bills...The Police Union got the best private deal that they could...It included full disability pay, and 6 months of med coverage...Anything following is payed out of pocket. By the taxpayers...I'm sure the city would LOVE to keep him on insurance! The insurer doesn't want him! In fact, they are counting down the day's they can stop accepting his medical bills...

Any HALF - WIT in Washington state should know that for cops, 6 months of medical coverage is crap. Was there a person at the negotiating table that had a medical background? We view this union police contract as horrible, especially for cops.
@@PoliceMisconduct-wf2kkYou do understand that the 6 months of insurance coverage is for those who get injured when off duty, fired, quit. Most companies only offer 30 days of insurance after you leave. This cop was working off duty when he had his accident. Since he was working off duty as an independent contractor he does not get worker compensation or any thing else. The city is not liable for his problems. If your coworker got in to a motorcycle accident while on his way home and could not do his job for more than 6 months would you want your company to keep footing the bill?
According to the description, he caused his own accident and it wasnt in the commission of duty, so Im pretty sure thats why hes not getting workers comp, FYI
Nope. You have no idea how Worker’s Comp. functions. He was working, what makes you think it’s not in the commission of duty? Everything he does at work is covered. It doesn’t matter if you “cause your own accident.” Everything to do with his injury is covered, as are a portion of his wages, They are talking about the thousands of dollars a month in health insurance and non-injury related medical bills for him and his family
Temp disability. You saying your state doesn't have temp disability. How many Americans go through that . Because he is a police offer does not mean you desearve special treatment. Im sorry for his unfortunate event , but like me i now am permanently disabled and i struggle to get through.

He ran out of benefits like many Americans do every day. The city isn’t abandoning him, it’s just the reality of the contract he entered into. It’s sad that he was negligent or reckless and hit a wall but this is life. I wish him the very best in recovering and being employed of course.
The paperwork clearly states, "A typical incident," which this was not even close to, it's all HIS fault, and companies don't owe anything to such reckless employees. They can go do a GoFundMe if they haven't already, and most of the complainers can throw him money that way instead of blaming everyone but him.
He was hurt ON THE JOB. If it was off the job, they wouldn't be liable. But that's not the case. While working and riding a POLICE MOTORCYCLE, he fell 60 feet and they are refusing him workman's comp and kicking him off his benefits anyway. This is evil. Bellevue is one of the richest cities in this worthless state. They can afford to help one of their own.
@@Leslie_Knope READ the papers, lady!! It says "hurt in TYPICAL circumstances," and driving off a bridge because you're an idiot or just plain blind and stupid is hardly "typical," so learn or STHU!!

@@sonderstudios6675 I think outside the Seattle metro area there’s not much wealth. Bellevue in particular seems like the Beverly Hills of that area. I agree, there’s something shady going on here. I also wonder why they can’t do something like let him answer phone calls (remotely) for a few months so as to have an excuse to keep making the care insurance payments). Basically find some excuse to keep him on the payroll.

Proof corporations treat humans like an asset while productive and a liability when discarded. Never be loyal to any corporation, take what you need and move on to the highest bidder.

Are we not already asking for handouts all the fucking time just in order to eat ONLY TWO MEALS A DAY this is not sustainable america
You're sick in the head. He was on duty and driving his police motorcycle when he crashed and fell 60 feet. That is a workman's comp situation. They're claiming his benefits are running out _after_ the accident. That means they are absolutely liable for what happened to him on the job. I'm betting if this were you or someone you loved, you wouldn't have this disgusting take on this situation.
Yeah...How did he lose control and go off an overpass? He became a cop to ride a bike, and he's only bummed because he can't play with his kids? Why can't he get desk duty? But, always back to the first question, HOW did he accomplish that? It isn't typical certainly.

Ppl in same and simular positions including myself with families too have lost there careers, all income, homes. Its sad that it takes it to be a Police officer to have attention to this...and no i have nothing against any police so dont go there as i said many of us in same and simular positions have been through the same i hope he finds some resolve but that resolve needs to mean change for all .....sad what happens to veterans etc but its been on going and just bs for all

He has a union that negotiated and approved that contract, including the six month limit. The city is only enforcing the agreement that they made with his union. They’re not uncaring or unkind or unsympathetic. It’s just business. I do feel bad for him and his family. But he’s gotta take that up with his union.

By the way everyone saying he wasn't at work,if you read the description it says he WAS on the job as part of a security detail protecting Kamala Harris,this is the thanks he gets for keeping HER safe
If you listen to some people, it may be punishment BECAUSE he was keeping her safe. Either way, he was using the 'company car', so maybe he should be covered even if he was on a side gig, because departments (for some reason) seem to sanction their use for those, too.
Absolutely disgusting! This country sends aid all over the world but wont take care of its own!!! Prayers for him and his family, stay strong sir! 💙🙏🚔🇺🇸💙
City of Bellevue Police are discrminating against me in hiring demanding a 1-94 as a background "check" without a job offer. They are also discriminating against me as a disabled person. They are violators of the ADA and EEOC laws.
He took a union job with a minimum salary over $95k with excellent overtime opportunities and benefits. The city of Bellevue is not responsible for the injuries he sustained in Seattle while participating in a vice-presidential motorcade. No job, no benefits, just like everyone else
@deltabravo1811 - I really hate that I agree with you.. but I do. I think he's trying to stay on the force. There's so many ways he could bring in money from state and fed assistance. But he'd have to accept defeat to do all that. I'd rather keep my family safe. secure,. and not worrying where their next meal is gonna come from. I feel bad for the guy though since this is viral as hell, there's gonna be a million dollar go fund me for him soon.
@@derhohlenbar That million dollars won't take long to evaporate in the presence of all those medical bills. No one who has contributed to society by working should be ashamed to receive any 'welfare' they need when life doesn't go as planned. It's a tragic situation.
Using wife's phone today not her opinions No work comp who is that union negotiating for seems really funny they actually would vote for a contract that drops your medical after injured on the job something is just wrong there

If he was black, they would've given him a billion dollars.
and the key to the city
Pretty sick take on this story.
What are you smoking. He wouldn't even be news worthy if he was black.
100% true.
He ran out of benefits like many Americans do every day. The city isn’t abandoning him, it’s just the reality of the contract he entered into. It’s sad that he was negligent or reckless and hit a wall but this is life. I wish him the very best in recovering and being employed of course.
The paperwork clearly states, "A typical incident," which this was not even close to, it's all HIS fault, and companies don't owe anything to such reckless employees. They can go do a GoFundMe if they haven't already, and most of the complainers can throw him money that way instead of blaming everyone but him.
🙄
He was hurt ON THE JOB. If it was off the job, they wouldn't be liable. But that's not the case. While working and riding a POLICE MOTORCYCLE, he fell 60 feet and they are refusing him workman's comp and kicking him off his benefits anyway. This is evil. Bellevue is one of the richest cities in this worthless state. They can afford to help one of their own.
@@Leslie_Knope READ the papers, lady!! It says "hurt in TYPICAL circumstances," and driving off a bridge because you're an idiot or just plain blind and stupid is hardly "typical," so learn or STHU!! Good grief, cops are whiny, lazy jerks anyway, all cops will only do duties they want to if not they say they're "understaffed." Get a clue!!
Would your employer keep paying your hospital bills/insurance if you did a side gig and was injured? The officer was doing a side gig using his credentials(uniform). This was on his own time and was injured on his own time. Why does his work(city) need to pay for his injuries?
You have foodstamps, Medicaid and SSI...
The City of Bellevue will do the Right thing ,Right?
Life's a bitch citizens deal with it everyday
6 months...in case one broke a toe or two, and twisted an ankle and wrecked some tendons.
Unions we're here for you until we ain't. Fuck unions!
Yeah that’s not how unions work.
@@rationallyruby the collect millions in dues a month

What about worker's comp? Also can't he just sue saying he was working and that's why he's injured?

I stayed in that USO in 1978 while in transit to Ft Lewis from Korea, i remember an elderly couple that were volunteers that were so nice.❤
He signed up for it
Is there a Go Fund Me?? Hopefully there is…
it's WORK or DIE in America. What a lovely Christian Country. Take everything away from Americans who are injured or sick or strugglinlg. Give All tax money to the Rich only.
Why do they have a picture of this officer in worse condition cover him up what about his privacy.
WE CAN PAY FOR ILLEGALS AND REFUGEES MEDICAL INSURANCE BUT THIS OFFICER CARE CANT BE COVERED WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAP
That’s shameful
No it's not 😂😅😂
Too Bad - So Sad!
You agree to work within a contract as part of a union. SUCK IT UP!
But government has billions to gove to Ukraine and undesirable ilkegals .
Isn’t Bellevue a wealthy city?
Washington in general is. Something shady going on with funds and the distribution of it.
@@sonderstudios6675 I think outside the Seattle metro area there’s not much wealth. Bellevue in particular seems like the Beverly Hills of that area.
I agree, there’s something shady going on here. I also wonder why they can’t do something like let him answer phone calls (remotely) for a few months so as to have an excuse to keep making the care insurance payments). Basically find some excuse to keep him on the payroll.
@@ahmeda.3198Bellevue was a great place for millionaires and billionaires until recently. Wonder why Bezos left Bellevue for FL…
@@Ggzerbe4 I have not been there in several years, but I remember the fancy downtown and lots of luxury car dealerships.
About 15 years ago I would go on Saturdays to an Indian restaurant named ‘Moghul Palace.’ It was near to a Best Buy and an Asian grocery store, somewhere near the downtown.
Yes, many extremely wealthy, property is always expensive, schmucks can’t afford to live there.
This is why it does not pay to be in law enforcement. They will abandon you.
I appears that way - his 'brothers' don't seem to be helping him very much right now. I feel bad for him.
Proof corporations treat humans like an asset while productive and a liability when discarded. Never be loyal to any corporation, take what you need and move on to the highest bidder.
You get the health care system you deserve. This is what Americans vote for.
HE NEED TO A FILE A WORKERS COMP CLAIM, THEY GOT THE EVIDENCE THEY NEED IF IN DOUBT WHETHER OR NOT HE WAS INJURED. I ALWAYS GET EXTRA INSURANCE, AFFLAC ,SHORT ,LONG TERM DISABILITY.

Why didn't he get workers comp?????
send billions to Ukraine instead
Okay great. So sad he has to go out asking for handouts to support his family. How bout us? We don't have police unions suing our employers on our behalf. What the fuck are we supposed to do? Are we not already asking for handouts all the fucking time just in order to eat ONLY TWO MEALS A DAY this is not sustainable america
Instead of supporting drug addicts. Step up Bellevue.
Attics get high?
@@TheCommunicationCoachOoppss. LOL
@@JP1AO We all do it! 😀
@@JP1AO ROFL And, technically, they are high...in the house, so it's kind of a match, the judges are awarding it to you
rules are rules. anyone who isnt a cop would have to pay out of pocket. blue line privilege has got to stop
🙄
You're sick in the head. He was on duty and driving his police motorcycle when he crashed and fell 60 feet. That is a workman's comp situation. They're claiming his benefits are running out _after_ the accident. That means they are absolutely liable for what happened to him on the job. I'm betting if this were you or someone you loved, you wouldn't have this disgusting take on this situation.
Yeah...How did he lose control and go off an overpass? He became a cop to ride a bike, and he's only bummed because he can't play with his kids? Why can't he get desk duty? But, always back to the first question, HOW did he accomplish that? It isn't typical certainly.
Different states screw workers differently. Sue the city, sue the county, sue the state, they'll pay!

This is nothing new at all?? Is it wrong Yes -and im not trying to be insensitive but just like everyone else he can get on state medicaid if they make an exception for him then does that mean all the rest of us this has happened to get an exception too? Ppl in same and simular positions including myself with families too have lost there careers, all income, homes. Its sad that it takes it to be a Police officer to have attention to this...and no i have nothing against any police so dont go there as i said many of us in same and simular positions have been through the same i hope he finds some resolve but that resolve needs to mean change for all .....sad what happens to veterans etc but its been on going and just bs for all
So very sad come on
City absolutely needs to stop stonewalling him! Pay his medicals and lost time!! Taxpayers approve taking care of those who put their lives on the line for us
I have used that USO, and they have always been great!
Defund the Police before and after - yep, this is Seattle.
What BULLSHIT . No healthcate even for cops .
This man risks his life and this is his thanks. Absolutely horrible

Unfortunately this occurs everyday.
Heavenly Father please watch over him and his family. Bless him with a quick recovery. 🌿🌹🌿🤗
He has a union that negotiated and approved that contract, including the six month limit. The city is only enforcing the agreement that they made with his union. They’re not uncaring or unkind or unsympathetic. It’s just business. I do feel bad for him and his family. But he’s gotta take that up with his union.

So he pays for insurance for how many years, but then when injured he’s only covered for 6 months?
By the way everyone saying he wasn't at work,if you read the description it says he WAS on the job as part of a security detail protecting Kamala Harris,this is the thanks he gets for keeping HER safe
If you listen to some people, it may be punishment BECAUSE he was keeping her safe. Either way, he was using the 'company car', so maybe he should be covered even if he was on a side gig, because departments (for some reason) seem to sanction their use for those, too.
Absolutely disgusting! This country sends aid all over the world but wont take care of its own!!! Prayers for him and his family, stay strong sir! 💙🙏🚔🇺🇸💙
Holy sh!t! Wtf this is workman's comp.. why isn't this filed as WC? AMERICA treats her HEROES LIKE SH!T!
City of Bellevue Police are discrminating against me in hiring demanding a 1-94 as a background "check" without a job offer. They are also discriminating against me as a disabled person. They are violators of the ADA and EEOC laws.
That family will end up being homeless if something isnt done. That poor guy.
He took a union job with a minimum salary over $95k with excellent overtime opportunities and benefits. The city of Bellevue is not responsible for the injuries he sustained in Seattle while participating in a vice-presidential motorcade. No job, no benefits, just like everyone else
VP motorcade ? No coverage from the feds?
@deltabravo1811 - I really hate that I agree with you.. but I do. I think he's trying to stay on the force. There's so many ways he could bring in money from state and fed assistance. But he'd have to accept defeat to do all that. I'd rather keep my family safe. secure,. and not worrying where their next meal is gonna come from.
I feel bad for the guy though since this is viral as hell, there's gonna be a million dollar go fund me for him soon.
@@derhohlenbar That million dollars won't take long to evaporate in the presence of all those medical bills. No one who has contributed to society by working should be ashamed to receive any 'welfare' they need when life doesn't go as planned. It's a tragic situation.
Using wife's phone today not her opinions No work comp who is that union negotiating for seems really funny they actually would vote for a contract that drops your medical after injured on the job something is just wrong there
More America last. Good thing we can be morally smug while sending Ukraine over 100 billion a year.
Money sent to Ukraine is an investment in our/global safety.
@@DanMonaghan-y5q I’m not buying your Marxist propaganda.
@@DanMonaghan-y5q 🤣🤣🤣 Good one!
From what I have read and understand that the officer was working off duty. Which does not quality for worker comp nor the insurance.
If his contract called for six months of benefits, that’s it if you don’t like your benefit package then you shouldn’t have taken the job . How long are tax payers supposed to support people if they can’t work
Why didn't you post the links to the fundraisers???
SIr Im so sorry and I wish you recover its a cold world man

Clearly the untrained man was asking for it.
This city, Bellevue, is going to be held liable for creating a program that refuses to make their client whole. It does not matter if the whole world does it, if it is unjust before God, then it is not going to fly.
What a ungrateful and nasty-spirited bunch.
Amen! It's the way of the world...
All these billionaires could well afford to adopt this officer and pay his 1K a month until he gets back on his feet.
This is ridiculous! He should be covered for however long necessary since he was injured on the job!!

They support cops that kill innocent people. But they can’t help this family. This is a shameful situation.
Why should a cop be any different
This is shameful
Seriously? The U.S has some sick rules/laws
As much as I have very little respect for the police except a very few, this is absolutely not right. The city should absolutely step in and do what is right. They should absolutely be ashamed of themselves.
That is so disrespectful! How can they refuse Work Comp when injured on duty? I hope he sues the City and wins big!
