We are experts in proving law enforcement misconduct.
Davis Adams has represented many victims of police misconduct in lawsuits against cities, counties, police departments, and individual officers. Although the statutory pre-suit notification requirements and complex immunity issues create challenges with respect to these types of cases, we have a proven track record of success and a history of obtaining substantial awards for our clients.
Police and other security officers are given broad powers in our society. Fortunately, most officers perform their jobs within appropriate guidelines. However, some officers abuse their power and engage in the following types of improper conduct:
- use of excessive physical force during a detention or arrest;
- sexual abuse or molestation;
- arrests during routine stops without proper cause;
- arrests as a result of racial or minority group profiling; and
- negligence in the operation of a jail and prison;
- false imprisonment.
Victims of law enforcement misconduct may be entitled to compensation.
The experienced Atlanta personal injury and wrongful death attorneys at Davis Adams can help determine the types of damages a police misconduct victim may be entitled to receive, including:
- medical bills;
- medical monitoring;
- pain and suffering;
- lost wages;
- impairment of earning capacity;
- life care/lifestyle changes; and
- punitive damages.
Our most recent law enforcement misconduct litigation success story:
"When I was wrongfully detained and assaulted by a police officer, I called a lawyer. He immediately referred me to Davis Adams because of their expertise in police misconduct cases. Chad Adams urged me not to take a quick settlement, but to let his firm conduct a thorough investigation. They ultimately determined that the officer who abused me had engaged in other misconduct while on duty, which meant a higher settlement in my case." D.S., East Point, Georgia
Our team strategy maximizes client service and case results.
At Davis Adams, all cases are handled jointly by Jess Davis and Chad Adams. This collaborative, team approach distinguishes our firm from most others, where work is largely handled by a single, less experienced associate (or sometimes a non-attorney "case manager"), and where experienced trial lawyers only get involved in the later stages of the case, if at all. Our clients profit from our hands-on team approach because from the very start they get the collective time, attention, energy, and experience of the attorneys who will be handling their case at trial, which translates to better results.
