The family of Sandra Bland, who died in a Texas jail last month three days after a confrontation with a state trooper, filed a wrongful-death lawsuit on Tuesday against the trooper and other authorities.

The suit, filed in federal court in Houston, claims that the trooper was reckless in pulling Bland from her car, and that jailers showed a “conscious disregard” for her safety. It holds the county and state Department of Public Safety liable for her death.

Authorities ruled that Bland hanged herself in her cell, but her relatives have disputed the finding. They also say state and county officials have withheld information from them.
