Police Misconduct Lawyer in Buena Park, CA
Suffering injuries at the hands of those sworn to protect is a devastating experience that can leave lasting physical and emotional scars. Here in Buena Park, when law enforcement officers cross the line and cause serious harm, victims need strong legal representation to help them seek justice. At Moseley Collins Law, we dedicate ourselves to helping people who have experienced catastrophic injuries due to police brutality.
What Counts as Police Misconduct?When police officers step outside their legal authority or fail to perform their duties properly, serious harm can result. While the majority of officers serve our community with honor and respect, there are times when things go wrong. Police misconduct happens when officers abuse their power, leading to violations of people's rights and, in the worst cases, severe physical injuries.
Our firm handles cases where police misconduct leads to catastrophic injuries. We don't take on minor civil rights violations - our focus is on helping people who have suffered life-changing harm.
Types of Police Brutality Cases We HandleWe work with clients who have experienced:
- Broken bones from excessive force
- Brain injuries during police encounters
- Paralysis from police actions
- Deaths caused by officer misconduct
- Severe injuries from improper restraint
- Major injuries from police vehicle pursuits
- Devastating injuries from weapon misuse
Each case is unique, but they all share one common thread - serious, life-altering injuries that never should have happened.
Recognizing Police Misconduct in Buena ParkSometimes it's clear when an officer has crossed the line. Other times, the signs are more subtle. Here are common indicators that misconduct may have occurred:
- Using more force than necessary
- Continuing to hurt someone who's already restrained
- Refusing medical care after causing injuries
- Using threats or intimidation
- Treating people differently based on race or background
- Physical abuse during arrests
These actions aren't just wrong - they're dangerous and can cause permanent harm to community members.

- The Internal Affairs Division at Buena Park Police Department

Making these reports creates an official record of what happened, which can be important later.
