Slay and Loge v. Biros and City of Nw Haven (Filed in New Haven, 2011)

Video surveillance tape at the New Haven train station shows Officer Biros, talking on his cell phone, as he  speeds down Union Avenue in his private car. It then shows two well dressed gentlemen walking across in Union Avenue in the crosswalk away from the train station. The car driven by Biros then slams into the two men. Unbelievably, this is the second time in less than 2 years that Biros hit a pedestrian. Months before, he had struck a homeless man in his cruiser. In both this case and that case, Biros and his fellow officers tried to cover up the incident and blame the victims. The police even went so far as to ticket the severely injured men while they were being placed into the ambulance. Thankfully, the video surveillance tracked down by our firm shows that the officer was speeding, that the plaintiffs were in a crosswalk, and that the “witness” used by the police to blame the victims was not in a posit to have observed any of these events. Shame on Officer Biros and the officers who assisted him. We look forward to the trial. The plaintiffs continue to recover but will be left disabled for life by this incident.
