What is the impact of stress-related injury on the employment of a Correction Officer?

"New York", United States of America

The following excerpt is from Huzar v. State, 156 Misc.2d 370, 590 N.Y.S.2d 1000 (N.Y. Ct. Cl. 1992):

In the instant case, in contrast, claimant himself provides evidence that the officials responsible for making the complained-of decision arrived at that course of action after an exercise of discretion in which they weighed relevant considerations and thought about the outcome if other positions were taken. Correction officers are sui generis (see Arteaga v. State of New York, 72 N.Y.2d 212, 532 N.Y.S.2d 57, 527 N.E.2d 1194, supra ). They are, by the very nature of their occupation, constantly exposed to the particular risks of stress-related injury arising from "the 'formidable tasks' of maintaining order and security in correctional facilities and protecting the safety of inmates and employees" (Id. at 217, 532 N.Y.S.2d 57, 527 N.E.2d 1194).
