Most cases of false arrest involve accusations of shoplifting, and are brought against security guards and retail stores. A guard cannot arrest someone merely on the suspicion that person is going to commit a theft. In most jurisdictions, there must be some proof that a criminal act has actually been committed.
How much compensation can I expect for a wrongful arrest lawsuit? Expect compensation for a wrongful arrest lawsuit to vary significantly, typically ranging from under $10,000 for brief detentions to over $1,000,000 for more severe cases.
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.
A conservative estimate is that you can get $1,000 per hour of wrongful incarceration. This figure can go up to many thousands of dollars per hour if aggravating factors apply. For instance, if you had medical complications after your arrest and had to go to the hospital in handcuffs, then your payout could be higher.
