Confidential settlement.
This was a civil rights case we filed on behalf of a nineteen year old client who was present at the scene of a fight in North Philadelphia. One of the responding officers arrested him, cuffed the client’s hands behind his back, shoved him to the ground, and repeatedly stepped on our client’s forearm. This caused the client to suffer a broken wrist. We sued the responsible officer for excessive force, and after the officer was deposed, the City settled the case for a confidential amount.
