Police Misconduct Lawyer in San Leandro, CA
When law enforcement actions result in serious injuries, San Leandro residents need strong legal support to protect their rights. At Moseley Collins Law, we've seen firsthand how police misconduct can devastate lives and families. Let us help you understand your options.
Understanding Police MisconductSimply put, police misconduct happens when officers step outside their legal authority and cause harm to citizens. But not every unpleasant interaction with police qualifies as misconduct. At Moseley Collins Law, we handle serious cases where police brutality leads to life-changing injuries, such as:
- Severe bone fractures requiring surgery
- Brain injuries affecting daily function
- Spinal damage leading to paralysis
- Deaths caused by excessive force
- Major internal organ damage
Officers are allowed to use reasonable force when needed. But sometimes they go too far. We've helped many clients who suffered broken bones, head trauma, and other severe injuries from unnecessary police violence.
Dangerous Shooting IncidentsThese cases often result in permanent disability or death. The impact on families is devastating - both emotionally and financially.
Improper Restraint MethodsWhen officers use dangerous holds or restraints incorrectly, the results can be severe:
- Breathing problems leading to brain damage
- Neck and spine injuries causing paralysis
- Permanent nerve damage
- Loss of consciousness from lack of oxygen
- Broken bones from excessive pressure
The San Leandro Police Department's Internal Affairs unit investigates officer misconduct. They handle the initial review of complaints against officers.
