Montgomery Mayor Todd Strange said the city is not able to grant workers’ compensation benefits to the family of injured police Cpl. David Brown.
The family filed a lawsuit against the city seeking the benefits for the officer, who was critically injured when his motorcycle was hit by a car while he was escorting a funeral procession Sept. 11. Afterward, the ambulance carrying him turned over on the way to the hospital.
The lawsuit states that Brown’s duties that day were done with permission, knowledge and approval of the department and were performed for the benefit of the department and citizens of Montgomery.
Strange said that Brown was not working for the Police Department that day and had a private contract with the funeral home in which the city received no compensation.
