Police Misconduct Lawyer in San Fernando, CA

When law enforcement crosses the line and causes serious harm, the consequences can shatter lives. Here in San Fernando, California, our community has seen how police misconduct can inflict devastating injuries that forever change families. At Moseley Collins Law, we dedicate ourselves to one critical mission: helping victims who have suffered catastrophic injuries due to police brutality rebuild their lives and find justice.

Every day, most police officers serve our community with honor and professionalism. However, when officers step beyond their authority or use excessive force, the results can be devastating. Police misconduct isn't just about minor procedural violations - it involves serious abuses of power that leave victims with life-altering injuries. Here in San Fernando Valley, we've witnessed concerning patterns where excessive force has resulted in broken bones, severe brain trauma, permanent paralysis, and even death.

These cases demand specialized legal knowledge and a deep understanding of both law enforcement procedures and catastrophic injury claims. Not every negative interaction with police qualifies as misconduct - we focus specifically on cases involving serious physical injuries resulting from clear abuse of authority.

Understanding different types of police misconduct helps victims recognize when their rights have been violated. Let's examine the most serious forms we encounter in San Fernando:

When officers use more force than reasonably necessary, they can cause devastating injuries. This might involve inappropriate use of weapons, dangerous restraint techniques, or physical violence beyond what's needed to control a situation. We regularly see cases where excessive force leads to broken bones, head trauma, and spinal injuries.

Some restraint techniques can cause severe injury or death, especially when applied incorrectly or used in inappropriate situations. Chest compression, certain chokeholds, and prolonged restraint in dangerous positions can lead to brain damage, organ failure, or death.

Improper use of firearms, tasers, batons, or other police weapons often results in catastrophic injuries. Even less-lethal weapons can cause permanent damage when misused. We've handled cases involving severe burns from tasers, traumatic brain injuries from impact weapons, and devastating gunshot wounds from unjustified shootings.
