Police Misconduct Lawyer in Merced, CA

When police officers cross the line and cause serious injuries, victims often feel helpless and unsure where to turn. Here in Merced, our team at Moseley Collins Law dedicates itself to helping people who have suffered devastating injuries due to police brutality. We focus on cases involving catastrophic harm - like broken bones, brain injuries, paralysis, and wrongful death.

Police misconduct happens when officers step outside their legal authority and harm citizens they're supposed to protect. While most police officers serve our community with honor and respect, serious incidents of brutality can and do occur. When they do, victims deserve strong legal representation to help them seek justice and compensation.

Let's be clear about what we mean by police misconduct:

In our decades of experience, we've seen many forms of police misconduct that led to severe injuries:

• Using excessive force that causes broken bones or joint injuries
• Wrongful shootings leading to death or permanent disabilities
• Dangerous chokeholds or restraints causing brain damage
• Reckless police pursuits ending in devastating crashes
• Improper use of tasers resulting in heart problems or death
• Physical assaults leaving victims paralyzed or disabled

We don't handle minor incidents or civil rights violations that don't involve serious physical injuries. Our focus is solely on cases where police brutality causes life-changing harm to victims.

When you're dealing with injuries from police brutality, you're up against powerful institutions with teams of lawyers. Having experienced legal representation levels the playing field. At Moseley Collins Law, we bring over 40 years of experience fighting for injury victims.
