Police officers are authorized to use force and physical violence under certain circumstances, such as to apprehend suspects, preserve the public peace, and protect citizens from harm. As such, law officers are often armed with weapons and gear that can cause significant harm to an unprotected citizen.

Are You a Victim of "Excessive Force"?

The law places limits on how much force a police officer can use, even when an arrestee is not cooperating or resisting arrest. So, excessive force, also often tied to police brutality, refers to situations where law officers legally entitled to use force exceed the minimum amount necessary to diffuse an incident or to allegedly protect themselves from harm.

Victims of excessive force include people who are shot, people that have had a firearm needlessly pointed in their direction, as well as people who have been punched, kicked, choked, beaten with batons, attacked by police dogs, maced, or subjected to taser abuse by law enforcement. Victims of excessive force deserve compensation for their injuries, such as out-of-pocket expenses like medical bills, as well as for the pain and suffering caused by the incident.
