When a deliberate act of negligence is performed the type of negligence shown is known as an intentional tort. According to the news report the fleeing suspects meant to inflict harm on the police officer. As such the liable driver could face civil charges in addition to the criminal charges hes already facing. As a result the injured police officer can contact his family attorney to see what legal options he may have in order to help his recovery process.
