Police Brutality

• Sexual assault or abuse
• Property damage
• Mental injuries
• Intentional abuse or harassment
• Unjustifiable force
• Verbal assaults

Any time law enforcement infringes on your rights, you can file a lawsuit against the offending officer or government agency that caused your injuries. If you are successful with your claim, you can recover damages for your medical expenses, lost income, loss of future wages, loss of enjoyment of life, pain and suffering, and more. To claim this compensation, you must prove your case.

Police brutality claims can be challenging because you must prove that the police officer acted outside of the line of duty. That is, you must show the officer did not behave in a reasonable manner that was in line with their training. You must also prove that the officer violated your rights by acting in the manner that they did, and that you sustained physical or mental injuries as a result. Proving these elements of a case is not always easy due to the many protections for police officers under the law.

Police brutality does not just go against an officer’s training, it is illegal.
