Police Misconduct Lawyer in Galt, CA

When police officers abuse their power and cause serious injuries, the impact on victims and their families can be devastating. At Moseley Collins Law, we dedicate ourselves to representing individuals who have suffered catastrophic injuries due to police brutality in Galt and nearby Sacramento County communities. Our decades of experience handling complex injury cases has given us deep insight into the challenges victims face when seeking justice against law enforcement agencies.

Police misconduct occurs when law enforcement officers exceed their authorized powers and cause harm to community members through unwarranted force or misuse of authority. Such incidents frequently result in severe injuries that fundamentally disrupt victims' lives, impacting their employment capabilities, family responsibilities, and overall quality of life. Although the majority of law enforcement professionals conduct themselves with honor and dedication to public service, it remains essential to establish accountability for those who violate their sworn duties and cause harm to citizens.

For victims of police brutality in Galt, the path to justice often begins with reports to the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office or Internal Affairs division. However, these investigations rarely address the full scope of harm suffered by victims. This is where experienced legal representation becomes essential.

Our practice focuses on helping victims who have experienced:

• Brain injuries that affect cognitive function and daily life
• Spinal cord damage leading to partial or complete paralysis
• Multiple or complex bone fractures requiring surgery
• Fatal injuries resulting in wrongful death
• Severe internal organ damage requiring ongoing care
• Permanent nerve damage affecting mobility and sensation

We have made a deliberate choice to focus solely on serious injury cases rather than handling minor injuries or other civil rights violations. This focus allows us to devote our full resources and expertise to helping those most severely harmed by police misconduct.

We regularly see several patterns of misconduct that lead to catastrophic injuries:

Officers sometimes use far more force than necessary during arrests or encounters with citizens. This can involve:

• Unnecessary deployment of weapons
• Severe physical assault beyond any reasonable need
• Dangerous choking or restraint methods
• Improper use of less-lethal weapons like tasers

Some officers deliberately ignore or delay treatment when someone is clearly injured, leading to worse outcomes. Quick medical attention often makes the difference between recovery and permanent disability.

Physical injuries sometimes occur during arrests made without proper cause or justification. These situations can quickly escalate into dangerous encounters.
