Police Misconduct Lawyer in Des Moines, WA

When law enforcement officers abuse their authority and cause serious injuries, victims need experienced legal representation to seek justice. At Moseley Collins Law, we focus on catastrophic injury cases resulting from police brutality in Des Moines, Washington, and surrounding areas. With over 40 years of experience helping injured clients, our legal team understands the complexities of these sensitive cases.

In Des Moines and throughout King County, law enforcement officers are entrusted with significant authority to protect and serve the community. However, when officers exceed their legal authority through excessive force or abuse of power, the consequences can be devastating. Such misconduct can result in severe physical injuries, long-term disability, and in the most tragic cases, loss of life.

For victims of police brutality and their families, securing experienced legal representation is essential to pursue justice and accountability through the legal system. Professional legal advocacy ensures that those harmed by police misconduct receive proper support while navigating the complex process of holding responsible parties accountable for their actions.

While proper use of force may sometimes be necessary for law enforcement, excessive force causing serious injury is never acceptable. Examples of police misconduct that can lead to catastrophic harm include:

• Excessive force during arrests
• Improper use of tasers, batons, or other weapons
• Unnecessary physical restraint techniques
• Vehicle pursuit crashes
• Unjustified shootings

Research from the National Police Misconduct Reporting Project highlights concerning trends in law enforcement abuse cases. Victims often face extensive medical bills, lost wages, and long-term disabilities. The emotional trauma can be equally devastating.
