Assault Injury Accident Case: S.P. was a high school student. One night, he was hanging out with friends in a parking lot filled with other teenagers. A police officer pulled into the parking lot, presumably to empty out the parking lot in front of the grocery store. When the police officer approached our client's vehicle, the officer thought he saw a gun. He fired a shot into the car, hitting S.P. in the head, and permanently damaging S.P.'s eyesight in one eye. Of course, S.P. had no gun or weapon of any kind. Nobody in his car had any weapons with them, the police officer had shot into a dark car on a dark night for a gun he claimed he saw.
