New Jersey Police Brutality Injury Lawyer

Experienced Excessive Force Injury Attorney in Camden County, NJ Provides A Free Initial Case Review For Victims of Police Violence in Voorhees as well as Burlington County, Gloucester County, and Throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania

New Jersey and Pennsylvania citizens trust their local, state, and federal police to protect their citizens. Most police serve their communities with the utmost respect and with the proper concern between making sure criminals are properly apprehended and that all laws are honored. Police do have broad discretion when it comes to carrying out their obligations. But sometimes police cross the line. When this happens you can turn to a skilled New Jersey police brutality injury lawyer for help.

Sometimes they use force when it’s unwarranted or arrest people without proper grounds. Most people know this misconduct as police misconduct or even police brutality. Lawyers focus on whether the police violated the citizen’s constitutional rights. Constitutional rights include the right to peaceably assemble, the right that searches and seizures be reasonable and that warrants are supported by probable cause. Force cannot be excessive or unreasonable.

Federal And State Law

The Civil Rights Act was enacted in 1871. It can be found in Title 42, Section 1983 of the U.S. Code. Willful violations of the U.S. Constitution or federal laws by officers acting on behalf of the state or federal government are usually addressed here. New Jersey and Pennsylvania have their own agencies for processing civil rights claims.

Possible Compensation

Civil rights actions are brought against police officers who violate your rights for many reasons. One reason is to stop the officer from continuing their wrongful efforts. Another reason is to make the victim whole—to put the victim in the same legal and physical position as he/she was before the wrong. In these lawsuits, the damages include payment for medical bills, punitive damages, and attorney fees.
