Get Compensation for False Imprisonment

Were you improperly detained? A detainment does not just refer to police arrests. People have been illegally detained by retail employees, parking lot attendants and nursing home staff. If you feel you were subjected to wrongful detainment, contact an attorney and find out what your rights are.

Were you subjected to wrongful imprisonment? If you were imprisoned on the basis of false accusations, your accuser may be responsible for your distress and loss. Our lawyers can file a lawsuit to recover damages on your behalf.

Have you been the victim of institutional assault? If you were detained in jail, prison or another facility and were the victim of a physical assault or abuse, including sexual assault, rape or beating, we will file a civil suit for damages against the guard, law enforcement officer or employee responsible. We will also pursue damages against the institution where you were detained.

Were you assaulted by an inmate because of poor supervision? If, as a result of inadequate or negligent security in a private prison or health care facility, you were assaulted, you may have a valid claim against the administrator of the facility.
