Police Misconduct Lawyer in Chula Vista, CA

What Qualifies as Police Misconduct?

Police misconduct happens when officers step beyond their legal authority and use excessive force or violence that results in serious injuries. While most police officers serve our community with honor, those who abuse their power must be held accountable when they cause harm.

The key is understanding what crosses the line from legitimate police work to misconduct. Not every unpleasant interaction with law enforcement qualifies as misconduct - we focus on cases involving serious physical injuries or death caused by police brutality.

Types of Police Misconduct Cases We Handle

At Moseley Collins Law, we work exclusively with victims who have suffered severe injuries from police brutality, such as:

  • Head trauma and brain injuries that cause lasting damage
  • Spinal injuries leading to partial or full paralysis
  • Multiple broken bones and compound fractures
  • Fatal injuries resulting in wrongful death
  • Major internal organ damage requiring surgery
  • Permanent nerve damage affecting mobility

These life-changing injuries can leave victims with enormous medical bills, inability to work, and need for ongoing care. We help them seek the compensation needed to cope with these devastating impacts.

How Our Police Misconduct Lawyers Can Help

With more than four decades of experience standing up to police misconduct, our legal team knows how to:

  • Do thorough investigations to uncover what really happened
  • Track down and interview witnesses before memories fade
  • Get copies of police reports, body cam footage, and other key evidence
  • Handle complex legal paperwork and deadlines
  • Negotiate aggressively with police departments and their lawyers
  • Take cases to trial when necessary to get justice
Why Time Matters in Police Misconduct Cases

The reality is that evidence can disappear quickly after police misconduct occurs. Security videos get deleted, witnesses move away, and important documents can be lost or destroyed. That's why contacting an experienced lawyer quickly is so important - it helps preserve the proof needed to support your case.

Reporting Police Misconduct: Important Resources

If you've experienced police misconduct, you can file reports with:

The Internal Affairs Division of the San Diego County Sheriff's Department

The San Diego County District Attorney's Office

While filing these reports is important, remember that these agencies focus on potential criminal violations. You'll still need an experienced civil lawyer to help pursue compensation for your injuries.
