A:
You have a strong case, especially with the police admitting fault and having it on body cam. Since your claim has been turned over to risk management, it’s essential to follow up persistently. Document every interaction you have with the police, risk management, and DHS, including dates, times, and the content of conversations.
You should consider filing a formal complaint or claim with the city or county where the police department operates. This could involve writing a detailed letter that includes all the information and evidence you have, such as the body cam footage and any other relevant documents. Send this letter by certified mail to ensure there’s a record that they received it.
If you feel your concerns are being ignored or delayed, it might be necessary to consult with an attorney who can help you navigate the process and ensure your rights are protected. Your situation is significant, and it's crucial to take these steps to seek the compensation you deserve.
