When Law Enforcement Causes a Wrongful Death …

We put our lives and safety in the hands of law enforcement professionals every day. We trust them. When a loved one dies at the hands of law enforcement, however, it is a shock to the family and to the entire community.

Was a loved one killed by law enforcement? Was it a wrongful death? Was it a civil rights violation? Contact the personal injury attorneys at the Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook law firm in California.

We have the experience it takes to investigate wrongful death.

Our lawyers know how to investigate a wrongful death — even when that death is at the hands of law enforcement. Such wrongful deaths happen for many reasons — improper hiring procedures, improper training, use of excessive force. We work with investigators and with law enforcement experts to fully understand what happened. We have experience filing federal civil rights actions in wrongful cases.

Our attorneys help families find justice.

Our law firm has successfully represented victims of police misconduct for 30 years. We have successfully represented people in federal civil rights cases rising out of wrongful death. We have prosecuted claims against law enforcement agencies from countless cities and counties. When a person known to be a suicide risk died in a jail cell, we found answers for the family. In those and other cases, we also sought justice — compensation for the grieving family. A police shooting with no provocation, a jail or prison death because of inadequate monitoring, a suffocation death caused by unnecessary force — in these and other types of matters, law enforcement needs to be held accountable.

We know that the wrongful death cannot be undone.

Our personal injury attorneys cannot undo what has happened, but we can seek answers and justice for the families. In the process, by holding law enforcement responsible, we may be able to prevent wrongful death tragedies from happening to another family. Contact us for a free consultation.
