Police Settlements And Rights

Summary

Police departments often settle out of court to save costs, manage risks, and maintain privacy. If you believe your civil rights were violated, gather evidence such as videos, police reports, and officer testimonies. Consulting a local attorney in Arizona can help assess the reasonableness of a settlement request and guide you on emotional distress claims. Counseling records can support emotional distress claims but are not always mandatory.
