aside from all the heated discussion focusing on the weapon, I would like to share my experiences of representing an RCMP officer against a bulletproof vest manufacturer.
during an nacrotics operation in Montreal, a RCMP officer(let's say his name was Pier) was shot twice on his upper body, the bullets did not penetrate the vest, however, they did cause enough damage to his organs that he was not able to return to active duty.
So after retiring with a full time pension and a being dicked around by the RCMP counsels who investigated the role of the vest in his injuries, Pier approached us, one of the few firms who is willing to work on a contingency basis, five years after the fact, so it does take that long to get things started.
we have then launched claims against the RCMP and GE, the manufacturer of the product.
9 months later, the bulletproff product manufacturer, GE, settled with Pier for 3 million CAD, so I do believe the american policeman has some grounds of getting some dough out of it,
another thing I firmly believe is that this case will come down to one factor and one factor alone, the price of his lawyers
