Expertise And Understanding From Irwin Mitchell

Irwin Mitchell have a dedicated team of experts who can help you with your taser gun injury claim. With a wealth of experience in assisting the public with personal injury claims, our team of solicitors can provide you with peace of mind throughout the compensation claim process.

Our police forces provide a crucial service to society, protecting us from harm. Unfortunately, like all professionals, they sometimes make mistakes, and overstep the remit of ‘fair force’. If you have suffered a taser injury, the physical and psychological consequences can be significant. A taser gun injury may also have occurred in conjunction with a wrongful arrest.

At Irwin Mitchell we fight fearlessly to achieve the best outcome for your taser injury claim. We’re renowned for our understanding of the issues affecting you and your family due to an incident involving a taser gun, and we know what positive action to take to make a difference. 

Our lawyers offer the highest level of professionalism and expertise, combined with dedication and sensitivity throughout the taser injury claims process.

Above all, we put you first.

Handling Taser Guns Claims With Expertise And Sensitivity

Since the introduction of police taser guns, we’ve built up a successful track record pursuing complaints about their misuse. We have been successful in achieving compensation for many people who have made a taser injury claim.

You might expect prosecuting the police and filing a claim against them to be difficult, if not impossible. But the law is very fair when it comes to matters of liberty and protection.

We have many years’ experience taking action against the police for malpractice in several areas, including claims that result from taser injuries. Many of our clients were involved in high-profile legal challenges to their treatment by the police and authorities.

There are a number of instances in which you can make a claim against the police if you have sustained taser injuries as a result of their inappropriate behaviour. You may be seeking an apology, looking to ensure that the authority in question is accountable, or seeking taser injury compensation if you have suffered as a result of your encounter with the police.

Irwin Mitchell also has an excellent reputation in handling  taser injury claims and out-of-court settlements for campaigners arrested or those who have sustained taser injuries during peaceful protests. Our clients have included:

  • Environmental protestors
  • Hunt saboteurs
  • Animal rights campaigners
  • Proven expertise in taser guns claims

Irwin Mitchell is also one of the largest and most experienced personal injury law firms in the country.

Our team includes many of the country’s finest personal injury lawyers. They operate in highly specialised teams, offering the highest level of legal expertise in use of taser guns claims.

Regardless of the reason people approach us for help, as a skilled and experienced team within the UK’s first human rights unit, we are able to assist with genuinely outstanding service, support and advice.

We have also pursued many leading legal cases in order to improve the prospects of success of claims for various forms of personal injury, and to obtain fairer compensation.



Compensation for Man After False Imprisonment by Police

Mr A was arrested by police in October 2007 on suspicion of theft of a mobile phone.

Mr A was assaulted during his arrest. He was handcuffed and had his hands twisted up his back. His head was repeatedly smashed on the floor causing injuries.

Further inappropriate comments were made to Mr A during his arrest and en route to the police station.

No charges were ever brought.

Mr A made a complaint against the police. His complaints in relation to the use of excessive force and politeness and tolerance were upheld.

A compensation claim in respect of false imprisonment and assault against the police was settled out of court for a five figure sum together with payment of costs.
