How Police Behave
  • There may or may not be a pattern here, but over
    the past few years, there has been more awareness
    of the biases the police force use while they are
    tracking down individuals. Whether or not you
    have been paying attention to the countless news
    stories discussing how people of color or more
    likely to have negative interactions with the
    police, it is not too far fetched to believe that
    sometimes the police are not using the standard
    of care necessary to ensure that not only are
    their lives safe, but also those who are they are
    trying to arrest.

What is Wrongful Death?
  • Wrongful death is a type of civil lawsuit against
    a person, persons, or party whose behavior was
    negligent and lead to the death of an individual.
    This negligence can be connected to the direct
    cause of death. Family members of the person who
    passed way can sue for financial compensation.
    This type of lawsuit can be filed alongside a
    criminal case. Neither of the results will affect
    the outcome of the other case. This means that a
    person can be considered not-guilty for the
    criminal case, but can still be accountable for
    the wrongful death suit.

The Police Problem
  • California has a long history of distrust between
    the police force and the black community.
    Whatever trust was there between the two parties
    was challenged again as another young black was
    shot to death by the police. The young man was
    found shot in the back yard with just a cell
    phone in his pocket when the police said they
    felt threatened which is why they choose to
    shoot.

WHAT TO DO
  • Wrongful death suits are not for the faint of
    heart. It takes guts to file a suit and continue
    to keep the wound open while you search hard for
    justice while you are grieving. In order to have
    a successful wrongful death suit, you must hire
    an Accident lawyer who is willing to investigate,
    gather witnesses, and ask the hard questions to
    help your case. You must hire an Accident
    Attorney who is willing to fight for you and your
    loved one aggressively and proficiently. The Los
    Angeles wrongful death attorney at the Law
    Offices of Howard Craig Kornberg in Los Angeles
    are here to be your advocate and your aggressive
    defender.
