Demanding Compensation for Public Servants' Misconduct
Federal civil rights laws protect people against a wide range of abusive conduct on the part of government officials and entities on the federal, state and local levels. If a police officer or other public servant his mistreated you, you may be entitled to seek compensation for the harm that has been done.
Common grounds for civil rights lawsuits include:
- Police brutality
- Unnecessary use of force
- Sexual assault by a public servant
Attorney Mark Hefter is dedicated to holding public servants accountable for abuses of their authority that cause injuries and other harms to private citizens.
Holding Cities and Counties Accountable
Individual police officers and other public servants are not the only ones liable for violations of civil rights. A city or county government can be held liable for the actions of their own employees as well as the actions of the government as a whole if those actions violate people's civil rights.
If you believe you have been mistreated by the government or any government employee, don't hesitate to contact the Law Office of Mark Hefter, P.C., to discuss your potential civil rights claim.
