Police Misconduct Lawyer in Ellensburg, 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 Ellensburg and throughout Kittitas County, Washington. With experience helping injured clients across multiple states, our firm has secured millions in compensation for victims of serious police misconduct.

Police misconduct encompasses serious violations of public trust when law enforcement officers deviate from their sworn duties through improper use of force, misuse of authority, or other unethical conduct. Although the vast majority of law enforcement personnel uphold their responsibilities with integrity and professionalism, instances of misconduct demand rigorous accountability, particularly in cases resulting in severe or life-altering injuries to citizens.

Our practice concentrates on cases involving severe injuries from police brutality, including:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord damage and paralysis
• Broken bones and severe fractures
• Wrongful death

Law enforcement officers sometimes use force that far exceeds what is necessary for the situation, leading to devastating injuries. This can include unnecessary use of:

• Impact weapons
• Tasers and other less-lethal weapons
• Physical restraints
• Firearms

When officers make arrests without proper cause and use excessive force in the process, serious injuries can occur. These cases often involve both civil rights violations and catastrophic physical harm.

Some officers abuse their position of authority through actions like:

• Intentionally escalating peaceful encounters into violent confrontations
• Using unnecessary force against already restrained individuals
• Retaliating against citizens who question their actions
