Show Notes
Fort Worths police and firefighters face the highest on-the-job injury rates and claim denials among city workers. From 2024 to 2026, over half of the 2,400 claims came from these first responders, with a quarter of their claims rejected. Union leaders attribute this to presumptive coverage laws, short approval windows, and cost-saving tactics. The citys provider network, with around 600 accurate options, is also questioned for its support of those on the front lines.
