What Counts as Police Misconduct?

Police misconduct happens when officers step beyond their legal authority and harm citizens. This can take many forms, but the results are often life-changing injuries that affect not just the victim, but entire families. Our focus is on helping people who have suffered the most serious types of injuries from police brutality.

The Types of Cases We Handle

We specifically work with victims who have experienced severe injuries like:

  • Head trauma and brain injuries that affect daily life
  • Spinal injuries leading to paralysis or limited mobility
  • Multiple broken bones requiring surgery
  • Internal injuries causing permanent damage
  • Severe nerve damage that limits function
  • Cases where someone has lost their life due to police actions
Why We Focus on Serious Injury Cases

Not every law firm is equipped to handle major police brutality cases. At Moseley Collins Law, we've chosen to focus on cases involving catastrophic injuries. This means we don't take on minor civil rights violations or cases without significant physical harm. We've made this choice because these serious cases need dedicated attention and resources to bring about justice.
