Did The Pennsylvania PD Use Excessive Force Against You?
When making an arrest, police are allowed to use a reasonable amount of force to restrain an individual. Officers are not allowed to use excessive force, and they are actually trained to subdue suspects without inflicting serious injury. However, there have been far too many instances of police causing broken bones, head trauma, gunshot wounds and even fatal injuries.
If you were the victim of police brutality and have suffered serious injuries, it’s important to know that you have legal rights. At Worth, Magee & Fisher, P.C., our lawyers can help you bring a claim against the city/police department. Under the direction of attorney Robert Magee, we have secured justice and compensation for many victimized individuals throughout the Lehigh Valley and surrounding communities who have faced circumstances similar to yours.
