Md. Police Officer Files Workers’ Comp. Lawsuit
A former Montgomery County, Md., police officer has filed a workers’ compensation lawsuit against the county, claiming he developed heart problems in 2005 while on the job. According to the lawsuit, Steven Hood was treated for hypertension in 2005. According to the Washington Examiner, Maryland law presumes a work-related cause for heart disease among public safety officials and that they are therefore eligible for workers’ compensation.
