Claims Against the Police
Police complaints can involve:
- police brutality in terms of deliberate assault and battery
- negligence
- wrongful arrest
- false imprisonment
The evidence of witnesses is particularly important in these cases. The police involved are likely to have made a note in their pocket books shortly after the incident and as a result there is always the possibility of them “closing ranks”. To combat this problem you need a specialist firm of solicitors with a “leave no stone unturned” approach to fighting your corner.
As well as the normal award of damages in a personal injury case, if you are suing the police it may be possible to recover:
- aggravated damages
- exemplary damages
