Knowing the Right Questions to Ask
When you meet with an Atlanta police brutality attorney at Van Sant Law, we will ask a series of questions to help us better understand the scenario and determine whether you might have a case.
Some of the questions we are likely to ask include:
- Did the officers continue to apply force once the suspect was disabled, subdued, no longer posing a threat, or attempting to flee?
- Were the officer’s actions necessary to subdue the suspect?
- What is the nature of the injuries? Did the suspect suffer any broken bones, severe facial injuries, a heart attack, internal injuries, or respiratory distress?
- If a taser was used, how many times was the suspect shocked? What was the suspect doing at the time the taser was used? Did the suspect pose a threat?
- Had the suspect been handcuffed or apprehended yet?
- If the officers used tasers, batons, pepper spray, or other weapons, did they follow the requisite procedures for doing so? (Our attorneys will help you understand the procedures to determine if the police acted accordingly.)
- If pepper spray was used, did the officer intentionally aim the spray at the suspect’s face at close range and/or after the suspect was handcuffed?
- After the suspect was handcuffed, was he or she thrown to the ground, thrown against an object, or struck by the officer?
These are just a few of the questions we may ask during the course of a consultation. You can start thinking about the answers to these questions now, but you should not assume that they have any bearing on your case until you talk with an attorney.
