Police Misconduct Lawyer in Bakersfield, CA

What Exactly is Police Misconduct?

Police misconduct happens when officers step outside their legal authority and hurt people they're supposed to protect. While most police officers serve our community with honor, some abuse their power with devastating results. At Moseley Collins Law, we see the human cost of these actions every day.

We focus on cases involving severe injuries like:

  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Brain injuries that change lives forever
  • Spinal damage leading to paralysis
  • Cases where someone has lost their life
Types of Police Brutality We HandleExcessive Force

Sometimes officers go too far, using more force than they should. We've seen cases where routine situations turned violent, leading to:

  • Takedowns that shattered bones
  • Choking or restraints that cut off breathing
  • Weapon strikes causing permanent damage
  • Taser misuse leading to heart problems
Unjustified Shootings

Not every police shooting is justified. When officers fire their weapons without good reason, the results are often tragic. We help families pick up the pieces after these devastating incidents.
