I'm not sure how I feel about this.

Officer is still getting paid and he has health ins.

It is a crying fricking shame that tpos had 750k raised for him though.
I'm just not a fan of go fund me accts.

Do police get worker's comp if they're injured on duty? I realize he probably still gets his normal pay but if he worked alot of extra duty or something, does that get covered? Because if not then that's a damn disgrace.

I'm curious as to how this works. All officers I'm assuming have their medical bills paid ... But To what extent?? 100% coverage?? Nick Tullier is gonna have a hell of a bill.


I know that there are normal bills to be paid in a regular basis. I'm just curious to if any of the medical Bills are ever seen by the officers. I'm hoping not.

I post Deputy Tulliers fundraisers in the other thread.
Something doesn't sit right with this.

I have absolutely no issue donating to help someone in need & understand how much the extra detail dollars are needed but something just doesn't feel right about this.

Think about your own insurance in case you were shot or in a near-fatal auto accident.

Would they cover all you medical/living expenses?

Ask family/friends who have been thru this how they got thru it financially.

quote:

A recent Harvard University study showed that medical expenses account for approximately 62 percent of personal bankruptcies in the US. Interestingly, the study also showed that 72 percent of those who filed for bankruptcy due to medical expenses had some type of health insurance, thus debunking the myth that only the uninsured face financial catastrophes due to medical-related expenses.
