Police Misconduct Lawyer in Menlo Park, CA

When police officers cross the line and cause serious harm, the impact on victims and their families can be devastating. Here in Menlo Park, our community deserves law enforcement that protects and serves - not officers who abuse their power and cause catastrophic injuries. At Moseley Collins Law, we dedicate ourselves to representing victims who have suffered severe physical trauma due to police brutality. Over our 40-year history helping injured clients, we've seen firsthand how proper legal representation can make all the difference in these sensitive cases.

Police misconduct isn't just a headline - it's a serious issue that affects real people in our community when officers fail to follow proper procedures or use excessive force. Here in Menlo Park and throughout San Mateo County, both the District Attorney's Office and Internal Affairs Division play crucial roles in investigating these incidents.

At Moseley Collins Law, we focus specifically on helping victims who have suffered severe, life-changing injuries due to police misconduct. Unlike firms that handle all types of civil rights violations, we dedicate our practice to cases involving serious physical trauma, including:

The injuries in these cases often require extensive medical treatment and can have lifelong impacts:

• Fractured and broken bones requiring surgical repair
• Traumatic brain injuries leading to permanent impairment
• Spinal cord damage resulting in partial or full paralysis
• Severe internal organ damage requiring ongoing care
• Tragic cases of wrongful death

We regularly see catastrophic injuries result from:

• Officers using excessive force during arrest situations
• Improper or reckless use of weapons and restraints
• Physical assault of individuals in police custody
• Dangerous vehicle pursuit tactics
• Unnecessary and harmful physical restraint methods

Recent studies continue to highlight troubling patterns of police misconduct resulting in serious injuries across California. Organizations like the National Police Misconduct Reporting Project carefully track verified cases of police brutality and excessive force. Their data helps identify concerning trends and frequency of severe incidents in communities like ours.
