Injury to Officer from Collapsing Stretcher Deemed Accidental

The Third Department annulled a determination denying a police officer’s claim for accident disability benefits.  The officer was injured when a wheeled stretcher collapsed.  The Third Department determined the collapse of the stretcher was not a foreseeable consequence of the officer’s ordinary duties and, therefore, constituted an accident.  In the Matter of Scharp v DiNapoli, 515287, 3rd Dept. 3-21-13
