Police Misconduct Lawyer in Eureka, CA
When police officers abuse their power and cause serious harm, the impact on victims and their families can be devastating. These incidents shatter trust and leave communities searching for answers. At Moseley Collins Law, we understand the trauma of police brutality and focus our practice on helping victims with catastrophic injuries get the justice they deserve. For over 40 years, our firm has stood beside injured clients throughout California, securing millions in compensation for those harmed by serious misconduct.

While most law enforcement officers serve with honor and follow proper procedures, some abuse their position of authority in ways that leave victims with life-changing injuries.
The hard truth is that internal investigations by police departments often fail to deliver real accountability. The Eureka Police Department's Internal Affairs Division reviews misconduct complaints, but victims with serious injuries typically need strong legal representation to protect their rights and pursue fair compensation through civil courts.
Cases We HandleWe understand that catastrophic injuries change lives forever and require experienced legal representation to achieve meaningful results.
Excessive Force Causing Major TraumaSome police encounters escalate unnecessarily into violence, leaving victims with devastating injuries. We handle cases involving:
- Broken bones requiring surgery
