A: Yes - for the police misconduct causing physical injury, search for a New Hampshire civil rights attorney. For towing company's negligence causing auto body damage, set up a claim with the towing company's insurance company (no attorney necessary, unless towing company refuses to disclose insurance co. info). Regarding wrongful towing (separate from auto body damage issue), whether there's any worthwhile remedy depends on NH law, so, there again, contact a NH attorney. Since you posted from Fla., mainly Fla. attorneys (who can't practice law in NH) will view your post. Try the Justia find-a-lawyer button to find one in the vicinity of your incident.
