Fighting for Accountability: Wrongful Police Shootings Legal Counsel
A person killed or severely injured during a wrongful police shooting is an all too familiar scenario. Ironically, an individual’s civil rights may be violated by officials acting in their capacity as peace officers. Sometimes police react too quickly and shoot an innocent person or use deadly force when it was not required. These cases often make headlines and can be complex because juries may be reluctant to rule against a police officer. It is important that victims or their families work with a law firm specializing in deadly and wrongful shooting lawsuits, with experience in this area of the law.Your deadly and wrongful shooting claim
