One of the benefits of your Police Federation membership is the ability to receive legal support and make claims if you are injured on or off duty.
PFEW supports Personal Injury Claims and Professional Negligence Claims for members but also their immediate members of family, partners, children, siblings, parents, and in-laws. All these types of claims are run on a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA, No win, No fee). The difference between our scheme and those members can get on the high street is that when the claims are through PFEW, and members are successful in their claims they get to keep 100% of any compensation awarded.
We have specialists who have expert knowledge of the unique losses that can affect police officers and ensure that these are recovered as part of your compensation award.
