Police Misconduct
Police officers often abuse their power. That abuse can result in death or serious injury in police-involved shootings and fatal police pursuits. It can also lead to wrongful incarceration. If you’ve been victimized by police brutality or misconduct, you may feel powerless. We’re passionate about seeking compensation for victims of police misconduct.
Police misconduct generally falls into four main categories:
- Police-involved shootings, where a citizen is shot or killed.
- Excessive force, where police use unnecessary physical force.
- Wrongful convictions, where someone is jailed for a crime without a sound basis.
- High-speed police pursuits, where someone is injured or killed as a result of a chase.
Your legal rights
If you’ve been injured due to police misconduct, you are entitled to damages for pain and suffering, disability, and emotional distress. When a loved one has been killed due to police misconduct, the injured victim’s family members can bring a wrongful death lawsuit, and seek damages for loss of society and grief and sorrow. When police misconduct has resulted in wrongful incarceration, the incarcerated person may seek damages for loss of a normal life and other injuries resulting from confinement.
