Making a claim for injury caused by the police
If you suffer injury caused by the police, then you may be entitled to recover compensation for your injuries as well as any financial losses, such as lost earnings.
We deal with police injury claims nationwide, operating throughout England and Wales.
Police compensation claims can be made where injuries have been suffered as a consequence of:
- Road accidents involving a police vehicle
- Use of excessive force by the police
- Police dog bite claims
- Handcuff injury claims
- Injury caused by batons, tasers, CS gas and pepper spray
- Injury due to police negligence
- Police assaults
Where you have suffered injury that has been caused by the police it is important to gather evidence to support a compensation claim as soon as possible. This includes seeking medical treatment and taking photographs of your injuries.
The amount of compensation that can be recovered will vary from case to case. Obviously the severity of your injury will be key in determining how much you will be entitled to receive. In addition to the compensation for ‘pain and suffering’ you will also be able to claim any financial losses you have incurred.
We work on a No Win, No Fee basis, which means that you do not need to let worries about paying legal fees put you off claiming the compensation you deserve.
Our team is always happy to have an informal chat and offer free initial guidance on the options open to you.
