POLICE BRUTALITY

If you’ve been harmed by law enforcement, police brutality lawyers in Philadelphia may be able to help you get compensation.

If you have been arrested by a law enforcement officer who used unnecessary or excessive physical or verbal force or assaulted you during the arrest, you are a victim of police brutality. While police officers have a duty to uphold the law when they are arresting civilians, they can often become angry or frustrated at a person and lose control. Many police officers have inflated egos or are “drunk” with power and believe that they have a right to arrest anyone how they see fit.

  • Beatings with fists or batons

  • Choking or body slamming

  • Abuse of a civilian’s rights

  • Using a police dog in an inappropriate manner

  • Unnecessary use of guns or other weapons
