| If an individual inhibits or prevents another's freedom of
movement without their consent for any amount of time, he or she has
falsely imprisoned that person. This imprisonment may include a
physical element to prevent escape, such as being bound with rope,
as well as verbal threats of harm to the victim. There are several
key factors that contribute to the claim of false imprisonment.
First, the confinement must be non-consensual on the victim's part.
Second, the confinement must be intentional on the part of the
perpetrator. Third, the victim has to have knowledge that he or she
is indeed imprisoned. Last, there can be no available means of
escape known to the victim. If you or a loved one has suffered an injury due to false
imprisonment, The initial consultation is free of charge, and
if we agree to handle your case, we will work on a contingency fee
basis, which means we get paid for our services only if there is a
monetary recovery of funds. In many cases a lawsuit must be filed
before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of
limitations, so please call right away to ensure that you do not
waive your right to possible compensation.
