Barr & Mudford Secures $1.5M Settlement for Hit and Run Involving an Officer

In this case our client was hit and severely injured by an off-duty undercover narcotics officer.

The police officer left the scene of the accident, demonstrating reckless indifference. We took legal action and were able to get a judgment against the city because an employer, even the police department, is responsible for the harm caused by an employee while working in the scope of their employment.

In this case we argued that an undercover police officer driving an unmarked police car is never really off-duty, our client received a settlement for $1,500,000.
