Police Brutality & Misconduct – $550,000 Settlement

Our client suffered a skull fracture during an arrest by an undercover NYPD unit in the lobby of a Bronx apartment building. The officers claimed he fell during the arrest, but evidence suggested excessive force. Despite the City refusing to settle for years due to our client’s criminal record, our firm pushed the case to trial. After a week of jury selection, the City settled the case for $550,000 as opening statements began.
