A: You may have a case if your rights were violated when the police used excessive force on you. If you were a minor and your parents were unable to make sound decisions for you, this could be relevant to your case. It's essential to gather all the details about the incident, including any medical reports, witness statements, and any other evidence that shows the police's actions were unjustified.

Additionally, you should consider the statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit, as these time limits vary. Consulting with a lawyer who has experience in handling police misconduct cases can help you understand your options and the strength of your case.

Remember, it's important to act promptly to ensure that your rights are protected and that you have the best chance for a successful outcome. Taking these steps can help you seek justice for what happened to you.
