The “Fireman’s” Rule
Recently, the Court of Appeals of the State of New York, New York’s highest court, issued a ruling concerning the application of a controversial section of the Municipal Law. In Gonzalez v. Iacovello, the Court of Appeals determined that a police officer may sue his or her employer under Section 205-c for negligent actions taken by fellow employees. This decision represents an important and long overdue recognition by the Court of Appeals of the intended scope of Section 205-c. While nobody has yet tested Section 205-c’s applicability to Port Authority Police Officers, I believe that this law and the Gonzalez decision should apply to our members.
