When law enforcement officers cross the line and cause serious injuries, finding the right legal help can feel overwhelming. Here at Moseley Collins Law, we work with people who have suffered severe injuries from police brutality in Lathrop and nearby communities throughout San Joaquin County. Our legal team brings more than 40 years of experience to these sensitive cases.

Police misconduct happens when officers step outside their legal authority and harm citizens through excessive force or abuse of power. Most law enforcement officers do their jobs properly and protect our communities. However, when officers do engage in misconduct, the results can be devastating for victims and their families.

At Moseley Collins Law, we handle cases where police brutality leads to severe physical trauma. This includes life-changing injuries such as brain damage, spinal cord injuries that cause paralysis, multiple broken bones, and tragic cases of wrongful death. We dedicate our practice to these serious injury cases rather than handling other types of civil rights violations. This allows us to give each case the focused attention and resources it needs.

While there are many forms of police misconduct, we typically see several patterns that lead to serious injuries:

This happens when officers go beyond reasonable force during arrests or other encounters. We often see cases where officers used dangerous restraint methods, misused their weapons, or physically hurt someone far beyond what was needed to control the situation.

These particularly serious cases involve officers using deadly force without proper justification. Many times, questions arise about whether the officer truly faced a threat that warranted using their firearm.

Sometimes officers engage in dangerous high-speed chases through populated areas or use aggressive driving tactics that lead to severe crashes. These pursuits often put both suspects and innocent bystanders at risk of serious harm.

We've handled many cases where officers used restraint techniques like chokeholds or applied excessive bodily pressure. These actions can cut off oxygen to the brain, damage the spine, or even cause death.

When someone suffers serious injuries from police misconduct, there are several ways to seek accountability:

Every police department has an Internal Affairs unit that looks into officer misconduct. While their findings can help support a legal case, victims shouldn't count on internal reviews alone to get justice.

The San Joaquin County District Attorney's Office reviews cases to decide if criminal charges against officers are warranted. However, prosecutors must meet very high standards to prove criminal conduct.
