The Rest of the Story
On April 22, 2013, Athens-Clarke County Police motorcycle Officer Beavers was seriously injured in a collision with a Taxi near downtown Athens. Officer Beavers sustained a concussion, a broken leg, and a facial injury in the crash. He faces a long recovery process that will leave him out of work for many months.
During his recovery, Officer Beavers will suffer a loss of income. Like most police officers, Officer Beavers relies not only on his regular duty paycheck but also special duty details to make ends meet for his family. A portion of Officer Beavers’ regular paycheck may be supplanted by insurance benefits, but the income from special duty details that his family depends upon will not. Officer Beavers will also face increased expenses as a result of his injuries.
