jailAnn Arbor Jail Injury

As an inmate or a detainee, you may feel as if you are that the mercy of police officials. It may feel as if whatever they say goes and that you have no decision in the matter. While there is a level of authority granted to police officials, there does become a point where abuse of authority can lead to jail injuries. Jail injuries can happen at the hands of fellow inmates and police officials alike. You have the right to seek compensation for whatever jail injuries you may have sustained while in custody or in holding. We urge that you are made aware of your legal options as a jail injury victim. Our Ann Arbor jail injury lawyers can help you get the compensation you deserve.

Causes of Jail Injury

It is not rare for someone to suffer an injury while in police custody or as an inmate. These injuries may have come directly from another individual or because of unsafe conditions that they are responsible for. Some examples of these conditions are:

  • Being refused necessary accommodations for disability
  • Excessive force used during arrest and transportation
  • Not being properly strapped into police vehicle
  • Being refused food or medical treatment

Regardless of the intensity of the crime you may be serving time for or the conditions of your arrest, you have basic rights protected by the U.S. Constitution. If you have suffered injuries while in police custody or as a ward of the state, you should be aware of your rights. This allows you to know what options are available to you and what the ensuing steps should be after this occurrence.
