Prominent Chicago attorney
CHICAGO, IL, December 23, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- One year ago, Des Plaines police officers responded to a 911 phone call to find 24-year-old, 5'2'' and 110 pound Krzysztof Kaczor wielding an ax. In lieu of disarming him with a taser gun, pepper spray or shots to his legs or feet, they killed him.
Prominent Chicago attorney, Jay Paul Deratany, has filed a lawsuit against the City of Des Plaines and the police officers involved. "Even if he was carrying an ax, they could have shot him the leg," said Deratany. "Instead, they shot him four times. An ax does not discharge any bullets and Kaczor's reach with an ax was no more than four feet. We think we're going to be able to prove and a jury will agree that Kaczor was not an imminent threat to the police."
For nearly 30 years, The Deratany Firm has obtained jury verdicts and settlement awards of more than $50 million in cases of serious and fatal injuries, medical malpractice, birth injuries, and motor vehicle and public transit accidents.
