Police Misconduct Lawyer in Hercules, CA

Living in a just society means having confidence that law enforcement will protect and serve the community. However, when police actions result in severe injuries, victims need strong legal support to address these wrongs. In Hercules, California, our legal team at Moseley Collins Law focuses on helping those who have suffered catastrophic injuries from police brutality.

Police misconduct encompasses situations where officers misuse their authority or employ excessive force that leads to serious harm. While the majority of police officers serve with integrity, there are instances where improper actions cause devastating consequences for citizens. These cases require careful investigation and skilled legal representation.

The Hercules Police Department's Internal Affairs Division examines complaints about officer conduct. Depending on the circumstances, the Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office may also investigate potential criminal behavior by officers.

Our work centers on severe injuries resulting from police brutality. We dedicate our practice to helping victims who have experienced life-altering harm, including:

Officers sometimes use force that goes beyond reasonable limits during arrests or other interactions. These incidents can result in multiple fractures, shattered bones, or complex breaks requiring extensive surgery and rehabilitation.

Traumatic brain injuries from police encounters can occur through direct impacts or oxygen deprivation. These injuries often lead to lasting cognitive problems, personality changes, and the need for long-term care.

The force used in some police encounters causes devastating damage to the spinal cord. Victims may face permanent paralysis, requiring lifelong medical care and significant lifestyle changes.

In the most tragic cases, police misconduct leads to death, leaving families to cope with an overwhelming loss while seeking accountability through the legal system.
