Los Angeles Civil Rights & Police Misconduct and Shooting Attorney

Unfortunately, news of innocent bystanders being arrested, injured, or killed by police officers for being in the wrong place at the wrong time has increasingly become too common. Men and women in uniform must follow a code of conduct. When they fail to do so, their governing agency may be liable for any resulting injuries or death.

If you or a loved one has been injured or has died because of excessive police force, brutality or shooting, the aggressive Los Angeles civil rights attorneys at the Law Offices of Simon M. Aval have the knowledge and experience to help you seek justice. No amount of monetary compensation we can get you will undo the harm caused. But it can help you get the closure you need.

The Types of Police Brutality Claims We Handle
Our legal team believes that no one is above accountability when causing injury to an innocent party. Over the years, we have seen and handled police brutality and misconduct claims involving:

Police shootings. Guns should be used as a last resort in law enforcement. When police officers purposely or recklessly commit an unjustified shooting, they tear families apart and cause tragic hardships for the victim. When these highly controversial incidents happen, our Los Angeles police shooting attorneys aggressively pursue personal injury or wrongful death compensation for the victim or the victim’s loved ones.
False arrests. In most cases, law enforcement must have probable cause to arrest someone they take into custody. When an arrest is based on the officer falsely using his position, he or she is acting outside the scope of the law and they can be held liable.
False imprisonment. Similarly, police officers do not have a right to hold an individual against their will without proper justification. This is called false imprisonment. Victims may be entitled to compensation.
Unnecessary use of tasers. Tasers are an effective weapon, allowing police officers to exercise physical control over an individual without having to use a weapon.
Sexual harassment. Just like others, police officers can be held responsible if they use their authority to harass individuals within the community. Victims of sexual harassment at the hands of law enforcement are left feeling even more vulnerable, unprotected, and violated.

Our aggressive Los Angeles civil rights attorneys have the knowledge and experience to aggressively pursue compensation from law enforcement agencies at the local, state, and federal level when unjust police actions leave you or your loved ones seriously injured. The legal restrictions on these types of claims make these cases challenging to pursue. However, with our proven track record, victims of police misconduct can be confident that their cases will be handled with a full commitment to a positive outcome.

Important Steps to Take If You Were the Victim of Police Misconduct
If you believe that you or someone you care about has been the victim of any type of police misconduct, it is important to note that the steps you take in the aftermath can impact the outcome of your case.

One of the most important steps to take is to protect yourself. However, it is also important to comply with the police officer’s requests as best as possible in a non-aggressive manner. Although this may not always be a deterrent to police brutality or misconduct, it can significantly reduce your risk of injury or death.

Once the incident is over, you need to immediately seek medical care and attention. You must also contact an experienced Los Angeles civil rights and police brutality attorney to help protect your legal rights and seek the just compensation that you deserve.
