: Nashville Personal Injury LawyerNashville Police Department Redeploys Tasers
By Rob McKinney
The Nashville Police Department has decided to allow the police officers to use Tasers beginning this month. Tasers were limited in Nashville following the death of a young man who was shocked over 19 times with a Taser. The family of the young man filed a wrongful death suit against Nashville and Taser. The case is still pending. This decision comes after a jury awarded a $ 6.2 million dollar verdict against Taser International Inc. The jury found that taser failed to warn the police that prolonged exposure to electric shock from the device could cause a riskof cardiac arrest. I just hope that Chief Serpas has thought long and hard over allowing Tasers back on the streets of Nashville.
