A $45 million dollar settlement has been reached for the treatment of a
man who became paralyzed in a police van after a 2022 arrest in New Haven,
Connecticut, lawyers for the defendant confirmed to CBS News Friday.
Richard "Randy" Cox injured his neck on June 19, 2022, when the police van
transporting Cox to prison braked hard to avoid a collision with another
vehicle that had pulled out from a side street, according to police.
As there were no seat belts, and Cox couldn't brace himself because his
hands were cuffed, he flew head-first into the metal divider between the
driver's section and the prisoners' area.
Video footage showed Cox begging for help and the officers accusing him of
being drunk and not believing that he was injured. Police put him in a
wheelchair and brought him to a cell. There, they waited for an ambulance.
Two police officers, Jocelyn Lavandier and Luis Rivera, were fired for
violating officer conduct rules on upholding the law, integrity,
trustworthiness, courtesy and respect. The two officers and three others
also face criminal charges.
New Haven's Mayor Justin Elicker said in a statement, "The New Haven
Police Department has instituted a comprehensive set of reforms, updated
its policies and procedures on the transfer of people in custody, and
required department-wide training on duty to intervene. The officers
involved are being held accountable by the police department and in
court."
Thirty million of the total settlement will be covered by New Haven's
insurance, and the remainder will be paid by the city, the news release
said.
"As the largest settlement in a police misconduct case in our nation's
history, this settlement sends a message to the country that we know we
must be better than this," Cox's attorneys Ben Crump, Louis Rubano and
R.J. Weber said in a statement.
