Understanding Excessive Force Cases

Common Causes

  • Officers escalating force against individuals who are not resisting
  • Using lethal force when less lethal alternatives were available
  • Continuing to use force after the suspect is restrained and compliant
  • Deploying K9 units against nonviolent or surrendering suspects
  • Multiple officers piling on a single restrained individual
  • Failure to intervene when fellow officers use excessive force

Typical Injuries

  • Gunshot wounds from unjustified firearm discharges
  • Broken bones from violent takedowns and impact weapons
  • Dog bite injuries from K9 deployment
  • Nerve damage from excessively tight handcuffs
  • Positional asphyxia from prone restraint techniques
  • Traumatic brain injuries from head strikes and impacts with the ground

Establishing Liability

Excessive force claims under 42 U.S.C. Section 1983 are evaluated using the Graham v. Connor objective reasonableness test, which considers the severity of the crime, whether the suspect posed an immediate threat, and whether the suspect was actively resisting. Officers who fail to intervene when witnessing excessive force by fellow officers can also be held individually liable. Municipal liability under Monell v. Department of Social Services is available when the excessive force resulted from an official policy, custom, or failure to train.

Relevant Texas Law

The Texas two year statute of limitations for personal injury applies to Section 1983 excessive force claims. Texas Government Code Chapter 614 governs the investigation of police misconduct complaints. Under federal law, the qualified immunity defense requires officers to show their conduct did not violate clearly established constitutional rights, and overcoming this defense requires demonstrating that the law was sufficiently clear that a reasonable officer would know the force used was unlawful.
