Tasers are weapons used by law enforcement that are less-than-lethal but can cause serious injuries and even death in some particular cases. Tasers work by disrupting the electrical part of the nervous system and the purpose is to prevent a suspect from harming themselves or others without the officer having to resort to lethal force. Taser International, Inc. has called the guns safe and has marketed them as so, increasing their prevalence in both the U.S. and around the world.

However, an Arizona Republic study revealed that 44 victims died as a result of Taser usage, which is different from the 42 that were confirmed by the company. The study shows that Taser based their assurances on autopsy reports that they never actually had in their possession and the company supposedly believed that it could legally claim that their products never lead to catastrophic injury or killed anyone.

Based upon assertions that were originally made by Taser, Inc. many people continue to believe that Tasers are unable to cause serious injury. Because of this belief, users use them with impunity, believing that any pain or injury was merely temporary. This attitude and lack of training was linked to a number of deaths, including an incident in a Minneapolis home for the mentally ill, where a man died after being tased.

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured by a Taser, you could be entitled to financial compensation for your unjust pain and suffering.
