Philadelphia Police Brutality Claims

Philadelphia and Allentown, Pennsylvania, New Jersey

When a police officer pulls you over or questions you, they are required by law to treat you fairly and respect your rights. If you are calmly cooperating with the officer and they use violent force to detain you, you can hold them accountable for any injuries you sustain in a police brutality claim.

Police officers are entrusted with enforcing the law, not abusing it. No matter how much power a police officer has, they are not above the law, and they must stay within certain limits when exercising their authority. Unfortunately, some police officers cross the line in their pursuit of law enforcement, abusing their power and violating the rights of citizens.

If a police officer has used force against you, ask yourself the following questions:

• Were you cooperating?
• Were you pulled over for a legitimate reason?
• Were you injured?
• Was any type of weapon used?

If you have suffered serious personal injury because of police brutality, our experienced Philadelphia civil rights lawyers at Wapner, Newman, Wigrizer, Brecher & Miller can help you pursue justice and fair compensation for your injuries.
