Injuries from Police Dogs

K-9 units are an invaluable tool for law enforcement. But police dogs are also dangerous to the public because (a) as animals they can be unpredictable or difficult to control once unleashed, and (b) they can be trained and ordered to inflict harm.

Lawsuits Involving Police Dogs
Figeroux & Associates will get the verdict you deserve in dog bite lawsuits against New York City police departments. If you are a criminal suspect, an innocent bystander who suffered serious lacerations, scarring, nerve damage or emotional trauma from being chased and bitten by German shepherd police dogs, we will represent you.

We work to show that the injuries should have been prevented or represented a violation of the constitutional right against excessive force. Some examples:

•The dog could not be stopped, ignoring the handler’s commands to quit biting. 
•The officer failed to call off the dog, or did not call it off immediately. 
•The dog escaped its handler and attacked an innocent person. 
•The officer sicced the dog on the wrong (innocent) person. 
•The officer deployed the dog against a suspect who posed no threat. 
•The officer ordered the dog to bite in a punitive manner.

New York, Civil Rights Attorneys 
The NYPD’s stop-and-frisk practices raise serious concerns over racial profiling, illegal stops and privacy rights. The Department’s own reports on its stop-and-frisk activity confirm what many people in communities of color across the city have long known: The police are stopping hundreds of thousands of law abiding New Yorkers every year, and the vast majority are black and Latino.
