Q: Can I Sue Someone for Emotional Distress? A: In some circumstances, the answer is yes. Although nothing can withdraw the harm that has been done, the law gives victims of injury the legal right to secure compensation from those responsible for the accident. In each state, the statutes on damages for emotional distress vary.

The City of Atlanta has agreed to pay a $999,000 settlement to Noel Hall, a North Carolina man who was shot by an off duty Atlanta police officer while visiting the city. Cochran Firm attorneys Shean Williams and Sam Starks hope that the settlement will lead to the city to giving serious consideration to resolving other similar police shooting lawsuits including that of Caine Rogers. Rogers was shot and killed by an Atlanta police officer as he drove past the officer in 2016.
In 2017 Noel was visiting Atlanta with his wife, two sons, a son’s girlfriend, and a 2-year-old grandson while Sgt. Mathieu Cadeau was working off duty as a security guard. Cadeau was directing traffic and claimed that Hall drove in a different direction to what Cadeau directed. Cadeau claims that Hall drove the vehicle towards him, a claim disputed by the family who added that they did not know he was a police officer. Cadeau shot into the vehicle hitting Hall, missing his heart by 2 inches, and nearly hit Hall’s wife after a bullet exited his body.
Cadeau was fired from the force in 2017 and indicted by a Fulton County grand jury for aggravated assault, violation of his oath, and reckless conduct in 2018. In 2020 Cadeau plead guilty and was sentenced to 30 years of probation.

#FlashbackFriday Throughout his childhood, church was a constant presence in Johnnie’s life. After the service, the Cochran family would head back to their house for Sunday dinner. It was on one of these Sundays, where Aunt Lucille and Uncle Aristide came to visit, that would drastically change Johnnie’s life.
Lucille told Johnnie’s father about the war effort in San Francisco and the opportunities that came with it like black men and white men working side by side for the same amount of pay. The Cochran family first moved to the San Francisco Bay Area before settling in Los Angeles.
