Police Misconduct Lawyer in Sunnyside, WAUnderstanding Police Misconduct and Brutality

Law enforcement officers take an oath to protect and serve their communities. However, when they exceed their authority or engage in abusive conduct, the results can be devastating for citizens. Police misconduct encompasses any actions where officers violate established protocols, use unnecessary force, or infringe upon constitutional rights. Though the majority of officers perform their duties with integrity, those who abuse their position of authority must face consequences, particularly when their actions lead to life-altering injuries.

Our practice at Moseley Collins Law centers on cases where police misconduct results in catastrophic harm to individuals. The severe injuries we see in these cases fundamentally alter victims' lives and often include devastating trauma to the brain, resulting in permanent cognitive impairment. Many victims suffer spinal cord injuries that lead to partial or complete paralysis. We also represent families who have lost loved ones due to wrongful death, as well as individuals who have sustained severe internal injuries, shattered bones, or permanent nerve damage that impacts their ability to work and carry out daily activities.

Types of Police Misconduct Cases We Handle

At Moseley Collins Law, we concentrate our practice on representing victims who have sustained serious injuries resulting from police misconduct. Our dedicated focus on catastrophic injury cases allows us to provide the specialized representation these complex cases demand.

Excessive Force

The use of excessive force represents one of the most serious forms of police misconduct we encounter. These cases arise when officers employ a level of force that goes well beyond what is necessary or reasonable for the situation. This might involve the improper deployment of weapons, dangerous restraint techniques, or physical force that causes severe trauma. The injuries in these cases often result from situations where officers failed to follow proper protocols or escalated encounters unnecessarily.

Wrongful Shooting

Cases where officers discharge their firearms without proper justification, resulting in catastrophic injuries or fatalities. These often involve unarmed individuals or situations where deadly force was not warranted.

Dangerous Pursuit

High-speed chases or aggressive pursuit tactics that lead to serious crashes and life-altering injuries for innocent bystanders or suspects.

Improper Restraint

Use of dangerous restraint methods that cut off oxygen flow, cause positional asphyxia, or inflict severe physical trauma.
