Police misconduct isn't just a term you hear in the news - it's a serious issue that can devastate lives when officers abuse their authority. While most law enforcement officers serve our community with honor and integrity, those who cross the line can cause immense harm through excessive force, wrongful arrests, or other abuses of power.
Our firm specifically handles cases where police brutality results in severe, life-changing injuries. We work with clients who have suffered:
- Severe brain trauma requiring ongoing medical care

- Fatal injuries resulting in wrongful death
- Major internal organ damage requiring surgery
- Permanent nerve damage affecting daily function
At Moseley Collins Law, we concentrate solely on cases involving catastrophic injuries from police misconduct. This focused approach allows us to provide the most effective representation for seriously injured clients. We don't handle minor injury cases or other types of civil rights violations.
Common Cases We HandleOur experience covers various forms of serious police misconduct, including:
Excessive Force IncidentsWhen officers use unreasonable force during arrests or interactions, leading to severe injuries that could have been avoided. These cases often involve situations where the level of force far exceeded what was necessary for the circumstances.
Deadly Force CasesSituations involving unjustified shootings or other lethal force that resulted in death or critical injuries. We carefully investigate whether the use of deadly force was truly warranted under the circumstances.
Dangerous Restraint SituationsCases where improper restraint techniques like excessive pressure, dangerous holds, or improper use of restraint devices caused serious harm. These incidents often result in brain damage, breathing problems, or spinal cord injuries.
Vehicle-Related HarmInjuries caused by dangerous police driving, improper pursuit techniques, or vehicle-related force that led to severe crashes or trauma.
