Police Misconduct Lawyer in Mercer Island, WA

When law enforcement officers exceed their authority and cause serious injuries, victims need skilled legal representation to seek justice. At Moseley Collins Law, we focus on catastrophic injury cases resulting from police brutality in Mercer Island and surrounding communities. With over 40 years of experience helping injured clients, our firm has secured millions in compensation for victims of law enforcement misconduct.

Police misconduct occurs when law enforcement officers abuse their power or fail to fulfill their duties properly, resulting in serious harm to civilians. While most officers serve honorably, instances of excessive force and brutality can lead to devastating injuries including broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and even wrongful death.

At Moseley Collins Law, we concentrate on cases involving severe injuries from police brutality:

Violent encounters with law enforcement can result in concussions, brain damage, and long-term cognitive impairment. These injuries often require extensive rehabilitation and may cause permanent disability.

Excessive force during arrests or detainment can damage the spine, potentially leading to partial or complete paralysis. These life-altering injuries typically require lifelong medical care and assistance.

Aggressive takedowns and physical abuse by officers can cause multiple fractures, crushed bones, and joint injuries requiring surgery and extensive physical therapy.

In the most tragic cases, police brutality results in loss of life, devastating families and communities. We help surviving family members seek accountability and compensation.
