Understanding Taser Injuries and Liability

A taser (also called an electronic control weapon) is designed to incapacitate a suspect by delivering an electric shock. While intended to be less lethal than firearms, taser deployments can still cause:

  • <li>Severe puncture-wound injuries from barbed probes</li>
  • <li>Deep muscle trauma and burns at the contact points</li>
  • <li>Cardiac arrhythmias or exacerbation of underlying heart conditions</li>
  • <li>Falls or secondary injuries when a subject is incapacitated</li>
  • <li>Emotional distress, PTSD, and psychological trauma</li>

Under the Fourth Amendment, law-enforcement officers may only use force that is reasonable under the circumstances. Misuse of a taser—whether deployed against a non-threatening individual, used excessively, or applied after a subject is subdued—can give rise to civil-rights claims.

Our Taser Injury Claim Process

Free Confidential Evaluation: You provide incident details, medical records, and any video or witness information. We assess the constitutional and state-law violations.

Evidence Gathering: We obtain body-cam footage, dispatch logs, medical reports, and interview witnesses. We work with forensic and medical experts to document the full scope of your injuries.

Liability Analysis: Our attorneys determine which officers, supervisors, and government entities can be held responsible under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 or Colorado tort statutes.

Demand Package & Negotiation: We calculate past and future medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages, then send a detailed demand to insurers or municipal risk pools.

Filing Suit & Litigation: If negotiations stall, we file in Colorado state or federal court, proceed through discovery, and prepare for trial, including depositions of officers and expert testimony.

Resolution: Whether through settlement or verdict, we pursue maximum recovery and ensure any agreement includes non-monetary reforms when appropriate (e.g., policy changes, training).

Common Injuries & Potential Recoveries

Every case differs, but typical compensable harms include:

Medical Costs: Emergency care, hospitalization, follow-up treatment, physical therapy, and specialist care.

Lost Wages: Income lost during recovery and potential future earning capacity reductions.

Pain & Suffering: Physical pain, emotional distress, and diminished quality of life.

Punitive Damages: In cases of especially egregious misconduct, courts may award punitive damages to deter future violations.


Frequently Asked Questions


<h3>How soon must I act after a taser injury?</h3>

<p>Colorado’s statute of limitations for civil-rights and tort claims is generally two years from the date of injury. Acting promptly ensures evidence is preserved and your legal rights are protected.</p>


<h3>Do I need to sue the individual officer or the government entity?</h3>

<p>We routinely name both individual officers (to establish personal liability) and the employing agency or municipality (to access insurance coverage and risk pools).</p>


<h3>What if I already filed an internal complaint with the police department?</h3>

<p>An internal administrative review does not preclude your civil-rights lawsuit. We use departmental findings as part of the factual record but pursue independent legal claims.</p>


<h3>Can I handle this on my own?</h3>

<p>While you have the right to self-representation, civil-rights litigation against government actors is complex. We recommend experienced counsel to navigate immunities, notice requirements, and procedural rules.</p>
