The Experience You Need for Claims Against the City

What Can Happen When Police Use Excessive Force?
Excessive force is generally defined as an amount of force beyond the need and circumstances of a situation and which is unjustified by the circumstances. The use of excessive force or false imprisonment by law enforcement can result in serious or fatal injuries such as:
- Gunshot wounds
- Taser/stun gun injuries
- Tear gas injuries
- Bites and other injuries from police dogs
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Broken bones
- Spinal cord injuries
- Eye injuries
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Excessive force by a police officer may be a violation of your civil rights. We will investigate the incident and hold the negligent parties accountable for their actions. You may be entitled to collect damages for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Bringing a lawsuit against the police and the city is an extremely complex matter that is beyond the abilities of many law firms. Our attorneys have experience in these types of cases, however, and are prepared to help you.
