Police Misconduct Lawyer in Napa, CA
When police officers cross the line and cause serious injuries, the impact on victims and their families can be devastating. At Moseley Collins Law, we understand the challenges of standing up to law enforcement after being hurt by those sworn to protect. Our team focuses on helping people who have suffered life-changing injuries due to police brutality in Napa and nearby communities.
What Counts as Police Misconduct?Police misconduct happens when officers step outside their legal authority and harm citizens through excessive force or abuse of power. While most officers serve with honor and respect for the law, serious misconduct does occur. When it does, victims deserve justice and compensation for their injuries.
We take on cases involving severe injuries from police brutality, including:
- Head trauma leading to permanent brain damage
- Spinal injuries causing paralysis
- Shattered or broken bones requiring surgery
- Internal organ damage
- Cases where someone has died due to police actions
Some situations that often lead to serious injuries include:
- Officers using far more force than needed during arrests
- Beating or assaulting people already in handcuffs
- Improper use of weapons like tasers or batons
- Dangerous chokeholds or restraint methods
- Letting police dogs attack without justification
- Slamming detained individuals into walls or concrete
Our team serves clients throughout Napa Valley, including:
- Downtown Napa
- American Canyon
- Calistoga
- St. Helena
- Yountville
- Angwin
- Deer Park

The numbers tell a troubling story. Major studies show around 1,000 people die during police encounters each year in America. The National Police Misconduct Reporting Project documents thousands of serious misconduct cases annually, many involving severe injuries.
