A civil demand for compensation on a false arrest or excessive force civil rights violation claim requires you to hire an experienced civil rights lawyer, like Jason Steinberger, who will file a claim on your behalf. The lawsuit can be brought in either State or Federal Courts, including actions under § 1983 of the United States Code. Jason Steinberger, a tireless supporter of civil rights and New York City false arrest attorney is able to determine which court is best to file in to pursue you monetary award. While some cases need to be tried, Jason Steinberger understands that you want your financial award now. That is why he strives to negotiate a just settlement as early as possible. And when the settlement offer is unjust, then and only then, does he force a case to trial.
What if you can show that the officer was malicious in the arrest? You may be entitled to more money or what is referred to as “punitive” damages. A common example of a false arrest situation, where the police officer acted maliciously, is where an officer arrests a person for possession of drugs, despite the fact that the officer never tested the alleged substance and it is later determined that the alleged substance was not illegal.
If you have been a victim of false arrest, police brutality, excessive use of force you may be entitled to compensation. For a free case evaluation contact us.
