This includes claims for excessive force, false arrest, wrongful imprisonment, and other civil rights violations.
We handle civil rights cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront and we only get paid if we win your case. Our fee comes out of the settlement or verdict, so there's no financial risk to you.
In Colorado, you generally have two years from the date of the incident to file a Section 1983 civil rights lawsuit. However, there may be additional notice requirements or shorter deadlines in some cases, so it's important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible.
Compensation in civil rights cases can include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and in some cases, punitive damages designed to punish particularly egregious conduct. Each case is unique, and we'll evaluate your potential damages during your free consultation.
