Have you been injured by law enforcement in California within
the last 6 months?
The People’s Clinic at the Lawyers Committee for Civil
Rights (LCCRSF) provides free legal support to people who have been injured
by law enforcement (police officers, sheriff’s deputies, or California
Highway Patrolmen) and are interested in seeking compensation for their
injuries in small claims court (meaning your damages are valued at $10,000
or less.) Unfortunately, we cannot support people who have claims against private security companies, or private actors (ie. a home health aide,
relative, domestic partner, spouse etc.).
Please be aware that the legal team at The Peoples Clinic
only provides limited scope legal consultation. We can assist you in filing
claims, but we do not appear for you in court or at a hearing. If your claim
requires a hearing, we can help prepare you to represent yourself in small
claims court.
Please fill out this form to register for an appointment and a member of our
team will contact you.
