When law enforcement actions cause devastating injuries, they create a wave of trauma that touches not just the victim, but their loved ones and the fabric of our community. For residents of Selma, California facing the aftermath of police misconduct, the path to justice often feels overwhelming, particularly while coping with serious physical injuries and mounting medical bills. That's where Moseley Collins Law steps in.

Our practice concentrates on cases where police brutality has led to catastrophic injuries - the kind of life-altering harm that fundamentally changes a person's ability to work, care for their family, or live independently. We provide the dedicated legal guidance and unwavering support that victims need to seek accountability and rebuild their lives during these challenging times.

Every day, most law enforcement officers in Selma and Fresno County serve our community with dedication and respect. However, when officers step beyond their authority and cause serious harm, the consequences can be devastating. Police misconduct takes many forms, but our firm specifically handles cases where officer actions result in catastrophic injuries.

The process of addressing police misconduct in Selma involves multiple agencies. The Fresno County Sheriff's Office Internal Affairs Division investigates complaints about officer behavior, while the Fresno County District Attorney's Office examines potential criminal violations by law enforcement. Understanding this system helps victims navigate their path to justice.

When we talk about catastrophic injuries from police misconduct, we're addressing life-altering harm that fundamentally changes how a person lives. Our practice focuses on severe cases involving:

A single blow to the head during an arrest can cause permanent brain damage, affecting everything from memory and concentration to personality and basic functions. Recovery often requires years of specialized care and therapy, with some effects lasting a lifetime.

Aggressive takedowns or improper restraint techniques can damage the spinal cord, potentially leading to partial or complete paralysis. These injuries frequently require home modifications, specialized equipment, and ongoing medical support.

Multiple or compound fractures from excessive force often need several surgeries and extended physical therapy. These injuries can lead to chronic pain and mobility issues that affect a person's ability to work and enjoy life.

In the most heartbreaking cases, police misconduct results in death, leaving families to cope with an unimaginable loss while seeking answers and accountability.
