Types of Police Car Accidents We Handle

Our attorneys bring decades of combined experience advocating for accident victims nationwide. We’ve successfully represented thousands of clients and secured millions in settlements and verdicts for those injured in police vehicle accidents.

High-Speed Pursuit Collisions

Victims injured during police chases caused by reckless pursuit tactics deserve justice and compensation for their injuries and losses.

Failure to Use Sirens or Lights

When police vehicles operate without proper warnings, serious crashes can occur and we hold departments accountable for these preventable accidents.

Intersection and Red-Light Crashes

Police cars speeding through intersections without clearing traffic can cause catastrophic injuries to unsuspecting drivers and pedestrians.

Improper Police Vehicle Parking or Stops

Accidents often occur when police vehicles are parked unsafely or block traffic without warning signs or lights.

Rear-End or Side-Impact Police Collisions

Sudden stops, distracted driving, or negligent maneuvers by officers can lead to severe rear-end or side-impact crashes.

Pedestrian and Bystander Injuries

We represent pedestrians and bystanders injured by negligent police driving during traffic stops, chases, or emergency responses.

Our Police Car Accident Case Process

We follow a proven methodology to build strong cases and maximize compensation for our clients.

Initial Case Evaluation

We begin by reviewing the details of your accident, assessing potential liability, and determining whether the officer or department acted negligently.

Thorough Accident Investigation

Our legal team collects crucial evidence — including dashcam footage, witness statements, police reports, and expert analyses — to build a solid case.

Identifying Liable Parties

We determine whether the responsible party is the individual officer, the police department, or a government agency that failed to follow proper procedures.

Filing Claims and Legal Notices

Because police accident cases often involve government entities, we handle all legal filings, including required notices under state and federal law.

Negotiating Settlements

Our attorneys negotiate aggressively with government insurers and defense counsel to secure full and fair compensation for your injuries and losses.

Litigation and Trial Representation

If a fair settlement isn’t offered, we’re fully prepared to take your case to court and fight for justice before a judge and jury.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about police car accident cases and how our attorneys can help.

Can I file a claim if I was hit by a police car during a pursuit?

Yes. Even though police officers have certain legal protections, you may still be able to file a claim if the officer acted negligently or violated department policy during the pursuit.

Who is responsible for paying damages after a police vehicle accident?

Liability may fall on the individual officer, the police department, or the local government agency, depending on the circumstances of the crash. Our attorneys identify all potentially liable parties to maximize your recovery.

Do different rules apply when suing a government agency?

Yes. Claims against police departments or government entities often have shorter deadlines and specific filing procedures. Our firm ensures all legal requirements are met on time to protect your rights.

What compensation can I recover after a police car accident?

You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and in some cases, punitive damages for gross negligence.

What if the police report blames me for the accident?

Don’t assume the report is final. Our attorneys conduct independent investigations, review dashcam footage, and work with experts to uncover the truth and challenge inaccurate findings.

How long do I have to file a claim against a police department?

The deadline (statute of limitations) for filing a government claim is usually much shorter than for regular personal injury cases — often just 6 months to 1 year. Contact an attorney immediately to preserve your right to compensation.
