Establishing Who Is Liable in a Police Chase Accident
Determining liability can be tricky in a police chase accident, which is why it’s a smart idea to have a good attorney by your side.
Per the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), police officers who engage in a chase must abide by the guidelines set for those situations. When they fail to do so, they can put themselves and others in danger—and are then liable for the accident.
If you are hurt in a police chase accident, you may be feeling overwhelmed and confused about how to proceed. Don’t worry—the attorneys at Morelli Law Firm have extensive experience handling cases just like yours.
Our lawyers will investigate the details of the accident to assist you in establishing liability, including collecting evidence like:
- Police reports/records pertaining to the incident that inspired the chase
- Police reports pertaining to your accident
- Eyewitness testimony from those on the scene who witnessed your accident
- Photographic evidence of the scene
- Videos from local surveillance, as well as the dashboard camera in the police vehicle
A New Rochelle police chase lawyer from Morelli Law Firm will defend your legal rights and communicate with the other party on your behalf.

Car accidents involving police chases can lead to short-term injuries and long-term health complications. Taking care of your injuries can be expensive, both in terms of medical bills and lost wages when you cannot work. You deserve to be compensated for these losses.
Traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, and internal organ damage are all examples of injuries you can sue for in a police chase accident. As the Mayo Clinic points out, car accidents are one of the most common causes of whiplash injuries and, in many cases, a whiplash injury may not be immediately noticeable.
This is why it’s important that you get checked out by a doctor immediately following your accident. Your medical report can serve as crucial evidence in your case if the doctor determines you did, in fact, suffer whiplash or some other such injury from your accident involving a police officer.
Plus, you shouldn’t have to pay medical bills for an accident you didn’t cause. You can and should seek financial compensation for your medical treatment. And seeking compensation for our clients is something the Morelli Law Firm does best.
