Moss & Colella, P.C.

Life can turn upside down in an instant. A car crash, a workplace injury, or unfair treatment by police can leave you scared, hurt, and unsure what to do next. You might be dealing with pain, hospital bills, or the loss of someone you love.

That’s when you need a law firm that actually cares. That’s where Moss & Colella, P.C. comes in.

Based in Southfield, Michigan, Moss & Colella helps people just like you—people who were injured, mistreated, or wronged by someone else’s actions. They’ve been doing it for over 25 years. And they’re known across the state for being smart, honest, and strong in court.

What Moss & Colella Does Best

This law firm focuses on one main goal: helping people who’ve been hurt or treated unfairly. They don’t handle every type of law. They stick to what they know best—personal injury and civil rights cases.

Here are just a few of the areas they work in:

• Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents

• Slip and fall injuries (premises liability)

• Police brutality and misconduct

• Civil rights violations

• Workplace injuries and accidents

• Dog bites and animal attacks

• Wrongful death

• School abuse and daycare negligence

• Sexual harassment and abuse cases

They’re not afraid to take on hard cases—even against big companies, cities, or government agencies.

Car Accident Lawyers Who Handle the Details

Getting into a car crash is scary. After the crash, you’re left with pain, stress, and confusion. You may not know who to call or what your rights are.

Moss & Colella helps with:

• Car, SUV, and pickup truck collisions

• Rear-end and T-bone accidents

• Accidents with drunk or distracted drivers

• Claims against uninsured or underinsured drivers

• Long-term injuries and ongoing treatment needs

They’ll guide you through Michigan’s no-fault system, talk to insurance companies for you, and fight to get you money for your injuries, lost work, and more.

Motorcycle and Truck Accident Cases

Motorcycle crashes are often very serious. Riders don’t have much protection, and even a small mistake by a driver can lead to broken bones, road rash, or worse.

Truck crashes are also complex. Big trucks can cause massive damage, and trucking companies usually have legal teams ready to fight claims.

Moss & Colella has handled both types of cases. They know how to investigate what went wrong, look at trucking records or police reports, and figure out who’s really at fault. Then, they work to get you fair compensation—sometimes through trial if needed.

Slip and Fall Injuries (Premises Liability)

Slipping on ice outside a business. Tripping on broken steps. Falling in a poorly lit stairwell. These might seem like minor accidents, but the injuries can be major—especially for older adults.

Moss & Colella represents people hurt in:

• Grocery stores

• Apartment buildings

• Hotels and restaurants

• Public sidewalks or parking garages

• Government buildings

They hold property owners accountable when they don’t fix dangerous conditions. And they gather evidence quickly, which is important in these kinds of cases.

Standing Up Against Police Misconduct

Police are supposed to protect people. But when they use too much force or abuse their power, it can leave a person traumatized, hurt, or even killed.

Moss & Colella is one of the few Michigan firms that regularly handles police misconduct and excessive force cases. These cases aren’t easy. But they believe in fighting for justice—even when it means going up against a police department or city government.

Common cases include:

• Being wrongfully arrested

• Excessive use of tasers, batons, or guns

• In-custody injuries or death

• Racial profiling

• False charges filed as cover-up

They understand the civil rights laws that protect people. And they use those laws to hold law enforcement accountable.

Civil Rights Lawyers Who Take Action

Your civil rights protect you from unfair treatment by government workers, police, schools, and other public agencies. But when someone crosses the line, it takes courage—and a skilled legal team—to fight back.

Moss & Colella has helped clients in civil rights cases involving:

• First Amendment violations (like free speech suppression)

• Racial or religious discrimination

• Retaliation after reporting misconduct

• Unlawful searches or surveillance

• Public school abuse or neglect

They file lawsuits in both state and federal courts, depending on the case. And they know how to bring attention to problems that are often ignored.

Representing Victims of Sexual Harassment and Abuse

Sexual harassment and abuse are hard to talk about. But they need to be taken seriously—especially when they happen in schools, workplaces, or places where people are supposed to feel safe.

Moss & Colella represents survivors of:

• Workplace harassment (verbal or physical)

• Abuse by teachers or school staff

• Daycare center misconduct

• Assault by public employees or officials

They protect your privacy and move at your pace. And they fight to hold the abuser—and any institution that ignored the warning signs—fully responsible.

Wrongful Death Claims in Michigan

When a family member dies because of someone else’s actions, it leaves a hole that never fully heals. Moss & Colella works with families who are grieving, helping them get compensation to cover:

• Funeral and burial costs

• Medical bills

• Lost income

• Emotional suffering

• Loss of companionship

They take the time to listen to your story. Then they build a case that honors your loved one’s memory and gets justice for what happened.

Workplace Injuries and Third-Party Claims

Most job injuries are covered by workers’ comp. But some cases involve more than just your employer. For example, if a contractor’s mistake caused your injury—or if faulty equipment was to blame—you may be able to file a separate lawsuit.

Moss & Colella has helped injured workers recover more money by finding third-party liability in cases involving:

• Construction site falls

• Machine accidents

• Electrical injuries

• Faulty safety gear

• Lack of proper training or supervision

They know what to look for and how to build a strong case.

School and Daycare Injury Cases

Children should be protected when they’re at school or daycare. But sometimes adults don’t pay attention, or worse, abuse their power.

Moss & Colella has handled cases where children were hurt due to:

• Physical abuse by teachers or aides

• Bullying that wasn’t stopped

• Unsafe school grounds or equipment

• Lack of supervision

• Neglect or inappropriate punishment

They fight for children and their families with care, determination, and full support every step of the way.

I highly recommend them."—Jason W., Sterling Heights, MI
