Our firm brings over four decades of experience to these challenging cases, working tirelessly to help injured clients rebuild their lives and obtain the compensation they deserve.

Police misconduct represents a serious breach of public trust. While the majority of law enforcement officers serve with honor and integrity, those who abuse their authority can cause life-altering harm to citizens. These cases demand experienced legal counsel who understand both the sensitive nature of police misconduct claims and the extensive medical care that catastrophic injuries require.

Our practice focuses on cases involving severe physical trauma from police brutality. This includes clients who have suffered:

• Traumatic brain injuries that can affect cognitive function, memory, and daily living abilities.
• Spinal cord damage leading to partial or complete paralysis, fundamentally changing victims' mobility and independence. The medical costs and lifestyle adjustments can be overwhelming.
• Severe broken bones and fractures that may require multiple surgeries and lengthy recovery periods. Even with proper treatment, victims might face permanent limitations.
• Wrongful death cases where families have lost loved ones due to excessive force. No amount of compensation can truly address this loss, but holding responsible parties accountable matters.
• Other catastrophic physical injuries that significantly impact quality of life and ability to work. The financial burden of ongoing medical care can be substantial.

Understanding what constitutes police misconduct helps victims recognize when their rights have been violated. Common forms include:

Officers must use only reasonable force based on the situation. When they exceed this standard and cause serious injury, they must be held accountable. This might involve unnecessary physical restraint, improper use of weapons, or continued force after a subject is subdued.

Some officers misuse their authority through intimidation or unnecessary aggression. This abuse of power becomes particularly serious when it leads to physical harm.

Physical injuries during wrongful arrests or detentions without proper cause represent a serious violation of civil rights. These situations can quickly escalate to dangerous levels.

If you've experienced police brutality resulting in serious injury, following these steps helps protect your rights:

1. Seek immediate medical attention - your health comes first, and medical records document your injuries
2. Report the incident through proper channels
3. Write down everything you remember while it's fresh in your mind
4. Reach out to experienced legal counsel who handles these specific cases
