Police Misconduct Lawyer in Carlsbad, CA

Being injured by those sworn to protect and serve is a devastating experience. At Moseley Collins Law, we help victims of police brutality in Carlsbad who have suffered serious, life-changing injuries. Our focus is straightforward - we handle cases involving catastrophic physical harm caused by law enforcement misconduct.

When police officers step beyond their authority and hurt people, that's police misconduct. While most officers do their jobs properly, some abuse their power in ways that leave victims with terrible injuries. Whether it's using too much force during an arrest or intentionally causing harm while someone is in custody, these actions can change lives forever.

Think of police misconduct like this - if an officer's actions go far beyond what's needed to do their job and someone gets seriously hurt, that's likely misconduct. It's not about minor issues or disagreements. We're talking about situations that put people in the hospital with major injuries.

We focus on helping people who have suffered the worst kinds of injuries from police brutality:

• Broken bones that need surgery
• Head injuries causing permanent brain damage
• Back and neck injuries leading to paralysis
• Cases where someone died because of police actions
• Severe damage from improper restraints or weapons

These aren't minor bruises or scrapes - we take on cases where the injuries have changed someone's life forever. With over 40 years of experience, we understand what it takes to prove these serious cases.

Sometimes people aren't sure if what happened to them counts as misconduct. Here are clear examples:

• Using force that goes way beyond what's needed
• Beating someone who's already in handcuffs
• Using weapons when there's no real threat
• Ignoring someone's obvious need for medical help
• Intentionally causing serious harm

Recent studies paint a concerning picture. The National Police Misconduct Reporting Project tracks verified cases across the country. Their findings show this isn't just a few isolated incidents - it's a real problem that needs attention, especially when it comes to serious injuries.

If you've been seriously injured by police misconduct, here's what you need to do right away:

1. Get medical care immediately - your health comes first
2. Take pictures of all your injuries
3. Write down names and contact info for anyone who saw what happened
4. Report the incident to the proper departments
5. Talk to a lawyer who handles police misconduct cases

Carlsbad Police Department has an Internal Affairs unit that looks into officer misconduct. While filing a complaint with them is important, it's separate from your right to seek payment for your injuries. We can help you understand how both processes work.
