Life can change in an instant when law enforcement officers abuse their power and cause serious injuries.

Having worked with injured clients for over 40 years, we understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll these traumatic incidents take on victims and their families.

When officers sworn to protect and serve instead cause harm through excessive force or abuse of authority, victims deserve justice. Although most law enforcement officials perform their duties honorably, serious misconduct does occur. Our firm focuses specifically on helping victims who have suffered catastrophic injuries due to police brutality.

These life-altering injuries often include severe trauma to the brain or spinal cord, leading to permanent disabilities like paralysis. Many victims experience multiple broken bones requiring extensive surgeries and rehabilitation. In the most tragic cases, police misconduct results in wrongful death, leaving families devastated and seeking answers.

Understanding what constitutes police misconduct helps victims identify when their rights have been violated. Common forms of misconduct that lead to serious injuries include:

Officers must use only reasonable force necessary for the situation. When they exceed this standard and cause severe harm, it may constitute misconduct. This could involve improper use of weapons, dangerous restraint techniques, or physical violence beyond what's needed to maintain safety and control.

Consider an example: An officer using a chokehold on someone already in handcuffs and complying with commands. This unnecessary force could cause permanent brain damage from lack of oxygen – exactly the type of catastrophic injury case we handle.

Law enforcement must follow established protocols during arrests and other civilian interactions. When officers ignore these safety procedures and someone suffers serious injury as a result, they may be held accountable. For instance, if an officer fails to properly secure a detained person in a vehicle, leading to severe injury during transport.

Some instances of misconduct involve officers intentionally using their position of power to inflict harm. This might include deliberately rough handling during arrest, intentionally slamming someone into hard surfaces, or using weapons when clearly unnecessary.

If you've suffered catastrophic injuries due to police brutality in Rosemont or nearby areas, acting quickly helps protect your rights:

First, get immediate medical care. Document all injuries thoroughly through medical records, photographs, and detailed notes about your treatment. Keep records of all related expenses.

Report the incident to internal affairs. This creates an official record of your complaint. Try to gather contact information from any witnesses while memories are fresh.

Perhaps most importantly, connect with an experienced police misconduct lawyer who specifically handles catastrophic injury cases. Having skilled legal representation early in the process can make a crucial difference in your case outcome.
