The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and force. However, police are allowed to use force to arrest a person. The level of force used should be proportionate to the seriousness of the crime, the threat the person poses, and the amount of resistance that the person is showing. If you’ve been the victim of police brutality, you have the right to file a police brutality lawsuit.
An attorney is a valuable resource if you or a loved one has been the victim of wrongful arrest, excessive force or other police misconduct.
A police brutality case is complex and requires extensive evidence. This may include multiple photos and video footage of the incident, eyewitness accounts, and medical records documenting the extent of injuries. Our law firm is experienced in civil rights cases and can help you put together the strongest case possible in court.
