FAQ

What is legally required for an officer to arrest you? The officer has “probable cause.” Probable cause is the grey area between suspicion and complete certainty. The officer has personally observed the crime. The officer has an arrest warrant.

To prove a false imprisonment claim as a tort in a civil lawsuit, the following elements must be present: There was a willful detention; The detention was without consent; and. The detention was unlawful.

Typically, plaintiffs bringing allegations of false arrest against state authorities need to prove all three of the elements outlined below. The arrest was inappropriate. The person detained suffered harm. An officer was the cause of the injury.

Proving False Arrest To be successful with a civil lawsuit pertaining to false arrest, you must prove three elements of your case. These are as follows: Law enforcement officials arrested you without a valid warrant, without a warrant at all, or without probable cause. You suffered actual harm as a result.

To win in a negligence lawsuit, the victim must establish 4 elements: (1) the wrongdoer owed a duty to the victim, (2) the wrongdoer breached the duty, (3) the breach caused the injury (4) the victim suffered damages.

False arrest occurs when a police officer or other law enforcement officer place someone under arrest without lawful justification. A false arrest is the unreasonable seizure of someone's personality.A seizure is considered unreasonable when there is a lack of probable cause to support it. In New York, a private person or a police officer commits the tort of false imprisonment or false arrest when they detain someone without legal authority. Lack of consent: If a person voluntarily agrees to remain in a location or accompany law enforcement, it typically does not constitute a false arrest. If you have been arrested without probable cause, you are entitled to compensation for any damages suffered from a false arrest under Federal and State Laws. NYPD officers regularly arrest people without probable cause. This means that the police officer had the intent to arrest or confine the person. That means if an individual has been suspected of committing a crime, their rights cannot be violated during any part of the process. Fee Structure: We operate on a contingency fee basis for false arrest cases.
