Police misconduct represents a serious breach of public trust and occurs when law enforcement personnel operate beyond the scope of their authorized duties or infringe upon constitutionally protected rights. Such misconduct can manifest through the inappropriate use of physical force, misuse of authority, or other actions that deviate from established protocols and standards.

Although the majority of law enforcement officials perform their duties with integrity and professionalism, it remains imperative to ensure accountability for those who violate these standards, particularly in cases resulting in grievous bodily harm or loss of life. The potential consequences of such misconduct extend beyond individual incidents, affecting both community trust and the fundamental relationship between law enforcement and the citizens they serve.

At Moseley Collins Law, we concentrate on cases involving:

Our focus on catastrophic injury cases allows us to dedicate our full resources and expertise to helping victims who have suffered the most severe consequences of police brutality.

Several patterns of misconduct can lead to catastrophic injuries:

When officers use more force than reasonably necessary, resulting in severe harm to civilians. This can include improper use of weapons, dangerous restraint techniques, or unnecessary physical violence.

Cases where officers discharge their weapons without proper justification, causing death or permanent disability.

High-speed chases or aggressive vehicle maneuvers that result in serious crashes and injuries.

Using dangerous holds, positions, or restraints that can cause suffocation, nerve damage, or other severe injuries.
