Arvada Police Officer Charged With Misdemeanor Assault – Colorado Personal Injury Attorney

Friday, September 10th, 2010

According to KDVR (Fox31), 3 officers have been charged in an assault and cover up case in Arvada. Whitney Bauma and Noah Rolfing have been charged with “failing to report, official misconduct and false reporting” and Charles Humphrey faces the same charges plus a “misdemeanor assault” charge. All 3 officers have resigned from their positions. Arvada Police have been under heavy scrutiny as of late, facing two lawsuits for two prior cases of brutality and officer misconduct. Charles Humphrey, it turns out, was involved in both of those cases as well.

Expert Law claims that assault involves an “intentional, unlawful threat or “offer” to cause bodily injury to another by force.” Police officers have special “privilege” to “apply the threat of force” in the case of a “lawful arrest.” The charge brought on the above police officer suggests that “threat of force” and/or the “lawful arrest” in this case are in question.

Even with a “privilege” under the law a police officer cannot assault someone without cause or reason. If you or someone you know as been a victim of assault and have been injured, you need a knowledgeable and passionate Colorado Personal Injury Attorney to assist you with all your legal options. The attorneys at The Daniel Law Firm have years of experience in personal injury law in Colorado, and they will put their experience to work for you.

Aurora Woman Killed after Rollover Crash – Parker Personal Injury Attorney

Friday, August 13th, 2010

A 21-year-old Aurora woman died after a rollover crash early Thursday morning. 9News.com reports that Yoana Rodriguez’s car rolled after swerving to avoid debris on Tower Road near 97th Avenue in Commerce City. Rodriguez was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash and was ejected from the vehicle. A 2-year-old girl whose identity has not been released survived the crash with minor injuries. Gary Mackey, who witnessed the accident, found the little girl strapped in her car sit and was able to pull her out of the wreckage. The crash remains under investigation.

According to a 2004 CBSNews.com report, road debris causes “25,000 accidents – and nearly 100 deaths – each year.” The report goes on to encourage drivers to be vigilant about securing loads in the back of trucks or strapped to the tops of cars, warns drivers to be on the look out for vehicles with loose or improperly secured loads of debris (avoiding driving too close to such vehicles), and adds that sometimes “it’s better to drive over small debris” than it is to swerve to avoid it.

If you or a loved one have been injured in an accident caused by debris in the road, you need to speak to a qualified Parker Personal Injury Attorney about your legal options. Often, an investigation by police and a attorney can determine those responsible or at fault and help you recover the compensation you are entitled to. The Daniel Law Firm has the experience and determination needed in cases like these. For a free consultation and review of your case contact us today at (303) 951-0233.
