Excessive Force & Police Brutality

Civil rights lawyers that handle cases involving excessive force must evaluate the actions of the officer in relation to the conduct of the victim.

To establish a civil rights violation, the attorney must prove that the force used by the officer was not reasonable under the circumstances.

Successful cases generally involve facts where the victim complied with all requests from the officer, but still suffered an injury that resulted from the application of force that was not warranted.

A civil rights violation for excessive force can be established through evidence of injuries that are not consistent with the facts of a stop or arrest, and it can be shown through the testimony of a witness.

If an officer resorts to excessive hitting, kicking, stomping or the unnecessary use of non-lethal weapons such as tasers, a civil rights violation may result. This is especially true where the victim is already in restraints.
