Fight for Your Rights Against Police Misconduct
The vast majority of law enforcement officers are highly reputable and dedicated to serving the citizens of Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, however, there are times when police exercise poor judgment and shirk their duty to uphold the law. Examples include:
- Excessive use of force;
- Improper methods of subduing an individual;
- False arrest;
- Wrongful imprisonment;
- Illegal questioning methods;
- Unlawful searches; and,
- Other violations of constitutional law.
When police abuse their authority, you can seek damages for the losses you suffer. You may be entitled to recover compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering, but civil rights violations claims are extremely complicated. They require in-depth knowledge of constitutional law and court procedural rules. Because some of these cases are resolved out-of-court, having a lawyer to represent you in settlement negotiations gives you an advantage to obtaining proper compensation. If you do need to file a lawsuit, it is critical to have an attorney with outstanding trial skills and extensive experience in the courtroom.
