Police Misconduct Injury Attorney in Orange County

The reason our government works well is that all people who have power are under a system of checks and balances Police are included in this system and thus, are not permitted unlimited power under the law -they are only allowed to enforce the law. If you believe you were a victim of a police officer overstepping his or her bounds, please speak with an Orange County police misconduct injury attorney.

When apprehending a suspect, police officers are only allowed to use the minimal amount of force needed, based on the situation. If you were willingly submitting and still got tased, you have been abused. If a police officer negligently discharged his weapon, he could kill an innocent person and he is violating the laws he is employed to enforce. When someone is injured or killed due to this police misconduct, they and their families have the right to file a personal injury claim in Orange County.

Because police officers have so much power and so many tools to enforce that power, the abuse of that power needs to be kept in check. The consequences of police misconduct can be very serious and may even result in the death of an innocent person. Even "non-fatal" weapons like mace and tasers can result in the death of certain people. It takes an experienced and knowledgeable Orange County personal injury lawyer to take action against a police officer who abuses his power.

Many police departments have been known to "protect their own," even when they know their fellow officer was in the wrong. When you work with a top Orange County personal injury attorney, you can be certain he or she will do everything possible to subpoena the right people and to collect the right evidence to help prove your accusations.

If you were the victim of false arrest or of excessive force from a police officer, your constitutional rights have been violated. Take a stand against this abuse of power by working with Orange County personal injury lawyer Christopher E. Purcell to file suit against the abusive police officer.
