Police Misconduct Lawyer in Santa Monica, CA

When police officers abuse their power and cause serious injuries, victims often feel powerless and unsure where to turn. Here at Moseley Collins Law, we've seen firsthand how police brutality can shatter lives. We focus our practice on helping people who have suffered catastrophic injuries from law enforcement misconduct in Santa Monica and nearby communities.

Most police officers serve with honor and follow proper procedures. However, when officers step outside their authority and use excessive force, the results can be devastating. Police misconduct happens when officers misuse their power or fail to protect the public they're sworn to serve.

In Santa Monica, we regularly see cases where improper police actions lead to life-changing injuries. These aren't minor incidents - we're talking about serious harm that forever impacts victims and their families.

Our firm specifically helps people who have suffered severe injuries from police brutality, such as:

• Head trauma and brain injuries that affect basic functions
• Spinal injuries leading to paralysis or limited mobility
• Multiple broken bones requiring surgery
• Internal injuries causing organ damage
• Severe nerve damage that causes chronic pain
• Cases where someone has died due to police actions

We want to be clear - we don't handle every type of police misconduct case. Our focus is solely on situations involving serious physical injuries or death. If you're dealing with other types of civil rights violations, we can help point you toward lawyers who specialize in those areas.

Police misconduct that leads to severe injuries often involves:

• Using far more force than needed during arrests
• Improperly using weapons like batons or tasers
• Physical abuse of people in custody
• Dangerous choking or restraint methods
• Continuing to use force after someone is already restrained
• Deliberately ignoring serious medical needs

If you've experienced police misconduct, these official channels should know:

• Santa Monica Police Department Internal Affairs Division (they investigate officer complaints)
• Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office (they handle criminal investigations of officers)
• Police Commission of Los Angeles County (they oversee police policies and conduct)

We help people throughout Santa Monica's neighborhoods:

• Downtown Santa Monica and the Third Street Promenade area
• Ocean Park
• Sunset Park
• North of Montana district
• Mid-City area
• Pico District
• Montana neighborhood
• Northeast Neighbors area

We also work with clients in surrounding areas:

• Pacific Palisades
• Venice
• Marina del Rey
• West Los Angeles
• Brentwood
• Westwood

Unlike firms that handle all types of cases, we concentrate on helping people with life-changing injuries from police brutality. This means we truly understand the medical issues, long-term care needs, and emotional impact these injuries cause.

Over our 40+ years of practice, we've won millions for injured clients. But more than the money, we're proud of how we've helped families rebuild their lives. Our hundreds of 5-star Google reviews come from real people we've helped through difficult times.

We offer free consultations because we believe everyone deserves to understand their rights. While we can't give legal advice until we officially represent you, we'll always be honest about whether we can help or need to direct you to someone else who can better assist you.

If you've been seriously injured by police:

1. Get medical care right away - your health comes first
2. Write down everything you remember while it's fresh
3. Get contact details from anyone who saw what happened
4. Save any videos, photos, or other evidence
5. Call our office at 800-426-5546 before talking to investigators

• Daily activities become major challenges
• Families often struggle financially
