The defendant officer operating the van drove over a bump at an excess speed, causing Plaintiff to bounce off his seat and strike his head on the roof of the vehicle. Plaintiff then fell partially off his seat and to his side, wrenching his right shoulder and injuring his head, neck, back, arm, and shoulder. Plaintiff screamed in pain but the defendant officers did not attempt to better situate or secure Plaintiff, or attempt to attend to his medical needs. NYPD Sgt. Dani Gallagher learned of Plaintiff’s injuries but ordered his continued transport to the precinct rather than summoning medical treatment. Once at the precinct, Plaintiff was transported to the hospital where he received treatment for his injuries.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.392620/gov.uscourts.nyed.392620.17.0_2.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4521444/alexander-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Morris, James A. vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2015-03-12","disposition_date":"2019-04-09","payout_amount":45000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"003065/2015","court":"Supreme Court - Kings","officer_name":"Epstein, Mitchell H."}],"documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/25220422-8189_iab_c17-0029c-redacted_redacted"}],"image":"https://www.50-a.org/images/officer/GLAM-mitchell-epstein.jpg","payroll":{"salary":"141943","regular":"136940","overtime":"10701","other":"25047","total":"172689"},"id":"GLAM","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/GLAM"}
