A law enforcement officer will receive over $300,000 in connection to a settlement negotiated by Levinson Axelrod, P.A. Partner Rich Marcolus.

As case records show, Rich represented a New Jersey law enforcement officer who was injured while chasing a suspect. Due to his injuries, the officer underwent a hip replacement surgery and neck surgery. Given the severity of his injuries, Rich was able to negotiate a six-figure settlement for the officer.
