What Counts as Police Misconduct?

Not every unpleasant interaction with law enforcement qualifies as misconduct. However, when officers abuse their power or use force that goes beyond what's reasonable, causing serious injuries - that's when victims have legal options to pursue justice.

At Moseley Collins Law, we focus on helping victims who have suffered life-changing injuries from police brutality, such as:

  • Severe head trauma and brain injuries
  • Damage to the spine resulting in paralysis
  • Multiple or complex bone fractures
  • Cases where someone has died due to police actions
  • Other injuries that have long-term or permanent effects

We don't handle minor civil rights violations or cases without serious physical harm. Our focus is on helping victims whose lives have been permanently changed by police violence.

Common Ways Police Brutality Happens

Police brutality can occur in many situations:

  • Using too much force while arresting someone
  • Improper use of weapons like tasers or batons
  • Rough or violent handling of people in custody
  • Dangerous restraint methods like chokeholds
  • Injuries caused by police dogs
  • Crashes during police chases

These incidents often happen quickly but can change lives forever.

The Real Cost of Police Misconduct

The numbers tell a troubling story. According to The Washington Post's Fatal Force database, more than 1,000 people die during police encounters each year in America. Groups like the National Police Accountability Project track these incidents and push for change.

Here in our community, police violence does more than cause physical injuries. Victims often face:

  • Medical bills that keep piling up
  • Lost paychecks when they can't work
  • Ongoing costs for therapy and rehabilitation
  • Mental health struggles and trauma
  • Permanent disabilities that change daily life
  • Strain on family relationships and finances
Why Legal Action Matters

Filing a police misconduct case does several important things:

  • Helps cover the huge costs of serious injuries
  • Makes officers answer for harmful actions
  • Pushes departments to make needed changes
  • Protects other community members
  • Gives victims a voice

But these aren't simple cases. Police departments and cities have big legal teams and lots of protections. That's why having an experienced lawyer matters so much.
