This area covers civil claims where someone alleges the police used excessive force, specifically an assault using a Taser, resulting in injury or distress. A solicitor handles the whole process: reviewing the incident, gathering witness and medical evidence, and drafting and issuing court proceedings to seek damages and other remedies. They will advise on liability, available routes for compensation, and how the case proceeds through the civil system if the matter cannot be resolved informally.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The claim hinges on whether the force used was unlawful and whether the claimant suffered injury, distress or financial loss. A solicitor will prepare pleadings, instruct experts, and pursue damages or safety-related orders where appropriate, subject to the limits of evidence and procedure. They also manage deadlines, communications with the Crown Prosecution Service or police for disclosure, and any related appeals or enforcement should a result be obtained.
