Many high profile incidents recently, notable the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, related to restraint asphyxia. It occurs when police restrain a person face down on the ground and apply weight on their back, neck or limbs. These improper restraints can impair the person’s ability to breathe and can cause death by asphyxia. Police and coroner’s reports often contain mistakes related to the victim’s cause of death, including something saying that the death was caused by “excited delirium.” Our attorneys unravel extensive medical evidence and apply their legal expertise in law enforcement and wrongful death cases to refute junk science, such as “excited delirium” claims and ensure our clients prevail in court.
