Negligence Should Result in a Police Brutality Case

Most people might think police brutality cases always involve direct abuse, but sometimes negligence can be just as deadly. For example, if staff at a jail do not give inmates the care they require, the jail should be sued.

In one case handled by our North Carolina police brutality lawyer, a man was brought into the Forsythe County Jail seriously intoxicated. The attending nurse put him on a 24-hour watch for DTs, which is standard procedure. However, when the jail moved to the graveyard shift, the nurse on staff was replaced by an LPN, instead of a fully registered nurse. This LPN did not follow through with the 24-hour watch for DTs, and the man had a seizure and died.

Attorney Rodgers launched a police brutality case, suing the jail for violating the man’s 8th amendment rights, which prohibit cruel and unusual punishment. Mr. Rodgers won the family of the police misconduct victim a substantial settlement.
