Holding Police Officers Accountable
Police officers can use reasonable force when making an arrest. If a suspect suffers broken bones, a permanent injury, or becomes hospitalized after being detained, police officers clearly overstepped their boundaries.
Our law firm's civil trial lawyers are committed to leveling the playing field against powerful interests. We are prepared to prove excessive police force was a factor in a wide range of cases, involving:
- Taser guns — We will determine if law enforcement followed proper procedure when suspects were verbally combative but not a physical threat. We also work with law enforcement experts to understand if the Tasers were used excessively.
- Handcuffs — Our civil rights attorneys are prepared to prove fault if law enforcement failed to use proper procedure when arresting an individual.
- Pepper spray — We consult law enforcement experts to understand if police officers were in proper range when spraying an individual with pepper spray. We will also determine if law enforcement stopped spraying at an appropriate time.
- Police batons — We are prepared to seek damages against police officers for using excessive force after the individual was under control.
Proving Fault and Seeking Maximum Compensation
We develop compelling legal arguments through consulting police force experts and former police captains. We work with them to determine if law enforcement used proper procedure when making an arrest.
The attorneys at our law firm will also seek to uncover a police officers' law enforcement history to understand any patterns of violent behavior or prior complaints. Our detailed approach often prompts the opposing side to negotiate with us, knowing we are well-prepared for trial. We will pursue maximum compensation to cover past and future medical expenses, as well as damages for emotional and physiological injuries.
