New York City Injury Lawyer
Helping Victims of Police Brutality
It is an unfortunate fact that there are instances in which police officers and law enforcement officials abuse their position to the detriment of the citizens they serve. Police brutality or police misconduct can take many forms, three of the most common being excessive force, false arrest, and custodial
negligence. If you or a loved one has experienced any such occurrence, a
New York City personal injury lawyer should be consulted immediately. This kind of activity is illegal and deserves a fair legal address. The constitution also protects against many similar offenses, some examples of which include:
- False imprisonment or illegal detention
- Malicious prosecution
- Searches without a warrant
- Arrests without a warrant
- Failure to timely release a pretrial detainee
- Apprehension of suspect by use of deadly force
- Inmate assault by guards
- Inmate assault by fellow inmates
- Inmate denied certain privileges such as visitation, practice of religious beliefs or access to legal materials or mail
