CIVIL RIGHTS LITIGATION
Coxwell and Associates have represented numerous individuals in civil rights lawsuits who have been seriously injured by police brutality. On one specific occasion, we obtained a $2.1 million verdict against a police department after officers suffocated a young man during his arrest. This particular case was tried before a jury and affirmed on appeal by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
On another occasion, we obtained a settlement after the police broke the arm of a juvenile during his arrest. We have also handled cases where innocent by-stander citizens have been seriously injured or killed during high-speed police chases. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured or killed due to the actions of a police officer or other state agent anywhere in Mississippi, our civil rights lawyers can help you receive the compensation you deserve.
