All citizens, including those in the custody of the law, are entitled to certain rights. Occasionally those rights are violated by the police that put citizens in custody or oversee their custodial wellness, and in the worst scenarios of such actions, wrongful death can occur. Wrongful death attorneys in California oversee whether the actions of police officers were a violation of the citizen’s rights.
Wrongful death at the hands of police is a terrible tragedy. Cases of wrongful death can occur as jail beatings, suicide or neglect, restraint or positional asphyxia, or in police shootings or other types of unlawful arrest.
