Police Misconduct Lawyer in Prunedale, CA
When a police encounter turns violent and results in serious injuries, the path to justice can seem overwhelming. Here in Prunedale and across Monterey County, our team at Moseley Collins Law dedicates itself to helping victims of severe police brutality rebuild their lives and hold wrongdoers accountable.

Every day, thousands of police officers serve their communities with honor and integrity. However, when officers abuse their authority and cause catastrophic harm, victims deserve justice and fair compensation. Police misconduct takes many forms, but our firm specifically handles cases involving severe physical injuries resulting from law enforcement abuse.
Through decades of representing injury victims, we've seen the devastating impact that police brutality can have on individuals and families. The physical, emotional, and financial toll of catastrophic injuries can last a lifetime. That's why we focus exclusively on serious injury cases, including:
- Life-altering brain injuries that require ongoing medical care
- Spinal damage leading to partial or complete paralysis
- Severe fractures and orthopedic injuries requiring multiple surgeries
- Deaths caused by excessive police force
Our narrow focus allows us to dedicate our full resources and expertise to these complex cases. We do not handle minor injuries or other civil rights violations unrelated to police brutality.
Common Forms of Police Misconduct Leading to Severe InjuriesExcessive and Deadly Force
The most devastating police misconduct cases often stem from officers using unreasonable force during routine encounters. This includes:
- Using dangerous restraint methods that cut off breathing or blood flow to the brain, potentially causing permanent damage or death
- Improperly deploying weapons like tasers, batons, or firearms in situations that don't justify such force
- Continuing to use force even after a person is restrained or unconscious
- Physical beatings that go far beyond what's needed to control a situation
While any wrongful arrest violates civil rights, our firm handles cases where improper arrests result in devastating physical injuries. Common scenarios include:
- Violently taking down compliant individuals without warning or cause
- Using excessive force to restrain someone who poses no threat
- Failing to provide medical care for injuries sustained during arrest
When officers disregard public safety during vehicle or foot pursuits, innocent people often suffer severe consequences:
- Causing crashes through dangerous driving tactics
- Hitting pedestrians or other vehicles during high-speed chases
- Pushing fleeing suspects into hazardous situations
