What are police abuse and police harassment claims worth?

Police abuse and police harassment claims are often difficult to prove, but if successful, they can result in compensation being awarded.

If you are compensated for your police harassment or police abuse claim, our solicitors use the following information to calculate your claim:

Basic damages

This is the initial amount awarded by the court to compensate you for your claim. It varies in every case, as no two claims are the same.

Aggravated damages

Courts now compensate for injuries to feelings in actions against the police claims, if justified. Awards exceed £1,397 for this.

Exemplary damages

To punish the police (or other bodies acting with police- like powers) for unconstitutional, arbitrary or oppressive behaviour, Courts can award an additional sum of at least £6,987.

Special damages

Identifiable loss, such as damage to clothing or personal possessions, or lost earnings due to injuries are payable at the appropriate amount.
