Legal Question in Personal Injury in New York

Re: what happen

It seems as if your case would have multiple issues. It would be to your advantage to hire an attorney as soon as possible, on police brutality and false arrest cases most attorneys charge no up front fees, which is the way our office works as well.

Re: what happen

There is a doctrine in the law called "Dram Shop" by which a tavern owner may become responsible to someone who suffers injury owing to carelessness of a tavern customer who continued to be served after displaying drunkeness. Your situation sounds more like a deliberate act (spitting) whether you lost your sensibilities or not. Deliberate acts would likely not be covered under the tavern-keeper's insurance. Good luck.

Re: what happen

You can make a claim against the police, but we would not take a case like that unless we were paid a substantial fee up front (like $10K). It's usually not worth the money. Also, I'm not clear about the timing and whether it might be too late to make a claim.
