Excessive Force Lawyer in NY, NJ, and CT
Police officers aren’t above the law. If they used unreasonable force against you, we fight to hold them accountable.
Critical Deadline Warning:
In New York, filing a claim against a city or municipality requires a Notice of Claim to be filed within 90 days of the incident. Waiting too long can permanently bar you from seeking justice.
Immediate Steps to Take After an Excessive Force Incident
1. Seek Medical Attention Immediately:
Priority #1.
Go to an emergency room or urgent care. Request copies of all medical records. This creates an unassailable, official paper trail documenting the physical scope of the abuse.
2. Photograph All Injuries and Evidence:
Within 24 Hours.
Take high-resolution, clear photos of all bruising, lacerations, torn clothing, or broken property. Photograph the injuries again over the next few days as bruising develops.
3. Secure Witness Contact Information:
Before it disappears.
If bystanders filmed the encounter or witnessed the events, get their names, phone numbers, and copies of any cell phone video footage immediately.
4. Do Not Speak to Investigators Without Counsel:
Protect your case.
Internal Affairs or detectives may try to take a statement from you. Politely decline to speak about the incident until your attorney is present.
Police officers are not allowed to use more force than the law permits. When they do, the results can be catastrophic. Victims of excessive force often suffer serious physical injuries, emotional trauma, humiliation, and long-term financial harm.
If you were injured by police during an arrest, detention, traffic stop, or while in custody, you may have the right to bring a civil rights claim
