Police and Jail Misconduct

North Carolina Police Brutality Lawyer

There are professional rules that police, jail wardens, and other law enforcement officials professionals must follow. They must not unnecessarily endanger inmates or people being arrested. In addition, ignoring inmates when they need help can be just as dangerous.

If you have a loved one who has suffered police brutality or negligence in North Carolina, police brutality lawyer J. Neal Rodgers can help. Rodgers has over 10 years of experience as an attorney, with a thriving practice helping police misconduct victims. He can meet with you free of charge, and if he takes your case, he will not charge you until you win compensation.

Types of Police Brutality and Misconduct

Many incidents are grounds for a valid police brutality and misconduct case. Attorney Rodgers helps the people of North Carolina with the following police brutality and misconduct matters:

• Excessive force
• Sexual abuse
• Assault and battery
• Racial profiling
• Neglect of medical needs
• Failure to provide food and water
• Section 1983 claims
• Other civil rights violations

Police brutality cases can take many forms. Attorney Rodgers handled one case in which a man put in jail was in serious danger of getting DTs from heavy alcohol use. The nurse on staff at the jail put him on 24 hour watch, but the nurse’s replacement, an LPN, did not take his condition seriously, and did not follow through. The man had a seizure and died.

The police and jail staff in this case may not have laid a hand on the victim, but their negligence caused his wrongful death. Attorney Rodgers sued the jail for negligence and for violating the man’s constitutional rights against cruel and unusual punishment under the 8th amendment and got his family justice.
