Civil Plaintiff
A New Jersey Man Who Was Paralyzed During a Police Encounter Reaches a $10 Million Settlement
Camden County has settled a federal excessive force lawsuit filed by a man who was paralyzed during a 2014 police encounter for $10 million.
Xavier Ingram’s attorneys believe it is the largest settlement of any police brutality case in New Jersey history.
The settlement comes on the heels of a mistrial declared in March after a more than two-week civil trial in Camden federal court over the incident that left Ingram, who was 20, a quadriplegic. The case was headed back to court, but the county’s insurance company decided to settle instead.
