What Defines Police Misconduct?

Every day, most police officers serve our community with honor and respect. However, when officers abuse their power and cause severe injuries, they must be held responsible. Police misconduct happens when officers step beyond their legal authority and harm the very people they're meant to protect.

In Madera, we've seen how police misconduct can shatter lives. That's why our firm focuses specifically on cases involving serious injuries, including:

Serious Injuries We Handle
  • Brain injuries and head trauma
  • Broken bones and severe fractures
  • Spinal cord injuries leading to paralysis
  • Cases involving death
  • Other major physical injuries that change lives forever

It's important to note that our practice focuses only on cases involving severe physical injuries from police brutality. While other civil rights violations are serious matters, we concentrate our expertise on helping victims of excessive force who have suffered life-altering injuries.
