Wrongful Death
This civil rights action arose from the tragic wrongful death of Deautry Charles Ross while in the custody of the Torrance Police Department. Following the unnecessary deployment of a stun gun, Mr. Ross’s urgent pleas for medical attention were repeatedly ignored by law enforcement. The firm aggressively pursued accountability, resulting in a landmark $3 Million settlement for the family.
$1,766,876.00
Personal Injury
This civil rights litigation resulted in a substantial jury verdict following an egregious excessive force incident. While experiencing a severe mental health crisis, a 16-year-old youth sought help at a local station. Rather than deploying crisis intervention techniques, responding officers opened fire with a SAGE rubber-bullet launcher, striking him twice in the head and inflicting catastrophic, life-altering brain injuries..
$2,400,000.00
Police Shooting
This federal civil rights action arose from an egregious law enforcement shooting. While handcuffed inside a patrol cruiser, an unarmed detainee was targeted by deputies who discharged twenty-two rounds after mistaking a falling acorn for gunfire. The firm demonstrated a total failure in threat assessment and gross negligence, securing a $2.4 Million recovery for Mr. Jackson.
