When a police encounter turns violent and leaves you or a loved one with serious injuries, knowing where to turn can feel overwhelming. At Moseley Collins Law, we understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll that police brutality takes on victims and their families. Our focus is helping those who have suffered catastrophic injuries due to law enforcement misconduct in Redding and throughout Shasta County.
What Counts as Police Misconduct?Police misconduct happens when officers step outside their legal authority and harm citizens they're meant to protect. While most police officers serve their communities with honor and respect, some abuse their power with devastating consequences. When this abuse leads to broken bones, brain injuries, paralysis, or death, victims deserve justice and compensation.
