Police Misconduct Lawyer in Oildale, CA

When police officers cross the line and cause serious injuries, the impact on victims and their families can be devastating. Here in Oildale and throughout Kern County, Moseley Collins Law stands ready to help those who have suffered catastrophic injuries due to police brutality. We understand how challenging it can be to stand up against law enforcement, which is why we focus exclusively on cases involving severe injuries like broken bones, brain trauma, paralysis, and wrongful death.

Every day, most police officers in Oildale serve our community with honor and respect. However, when officers abuse their power and cause serious harm, victims deserve justice. Police misconduct happens when officers step beyond their authority and violate citizens' basic rights, often through excessive force or abuse of power.

Drawing from over 40 years of experience helping injury victims across multiple states, our team at Moseley Collins Law knows these cases require careful handling and dedicated representation. The effects of police brutality can last a lifetime, changing not just the victim's future but impacting entire families and communities.

Our firm takes a focused approach by specifically handling police brutality cases that result in life-changing injuries. When we talk about serious injuries, we mean:

• Traumatic brain injuries that can affect cognitive function, memory, and basic daily activities.
• Spinal cord damage leading to partial or complete paralysis, fundamentally changing how a person lives and works.
• Severe bone fractures, particularly when multiple bones are broken or when injuries require extensive surgery and recovery time.
• Internal organ damage that may lead to ongoing health complications and the need for continued medical treatment.

Cases of wrongful death, where families lose loved ones due to excessive police force.

We've made a deliberate choice to focus solely on these severe injury cases rather than handling minor injuries or other civil rights violations. This allows us to dedicate our full attention and resources to helping those who have suffered the most serious harm.

Police misconduct that leads to severe injuries often takes several forms:

This happens when officers use more force than needed during an arrest or interaction. Even routine situations can escalate quickly when officers fail to follow proper procedures.

Some officers may use improper holds or restraint techniques that can cut off breathing, break bones, or cause head injuries. These situations can turn deadly in moments.

The improper use of police equipment - from tasers and batons to pepper spray and firearms - can cause permanent damage or death.

Sometimes, the most serious harm comes not from the initial force, but from officers failing to get prompt medical help for someone they've injured.
