Firefighter Denied Personal Injury Claim For Injury Suffered On The Job
The City of Lockport is in a fight over a disability claim filed by one of its firefighters. The fight revolves around the paid sick leave of Lt. Michael A. Collette. The city is refusing to treat Lt. Colette’s absence from work as a firefighter disability case even though he suffered a back injury while on the job where he protected the citizens of Lockport for 18 years. (read more)
The city is fighting his claim because they don’t believe his injury merits his salary be paid in full, tax-free and his sick and vacation accruals remain untouched. The city is using claims made by the lieutenant on his Facebook page as evidence to oppose his disability. Colette is outraged the city is fighting him when his injury was documented as happening on the job.
