Illinois Residential Treatment Facility Sex Abuse Lawsuits

If you were sexually abused at a residential treatment facility in Illinois, you may have a civil claim against the people and organizations that failed to protect you. This page covers residential treatment centers, psychiatric hospitals, and youth behavioral health programs, including placements arranged by families and state agencies.

Recent reports and our investigations make clear that sexual abuse of residents is a major problem at these facilities. Survivors can seek compensation for the harm they suffered when the evidence supports institutional responsibility and the claim meets the applicable filing rules.

You do not need to know the name of the corporation behind the facility before contacting us. Start with where you stayed, approximately when you were there, and what happened.

New York Juvenile Detention Center Sex Abuse Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Being sent to a juvenile detention center did not give anyone the right to sexually abuse you. New York juvenile detention sex abuse lawsuits seek to hold staff members and the institutions responsible for sexual abuse committed in custody accountable. Filing a lawsuit can help victims obtain financial compensation for therapy, medical expenses, and the lasting harm the abuse caused.

You may have a claim even if you never reported the abuse, the facility has closed, or you cannot remember the employee’s full name. The first questions are where you were held, approximately when it happened, and your age at the time. Those answers help our lawyers identify the facility, the responsible parties, and the filing rules that apply.

If you have a potential New York juvenile detention center sex abuse lawsuit, call us today at 800-553-8082 or contact us online for a free, confidential case evaluation.

Breast Mesh Lawsuits and Internal Bra Complications

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Breast mesh lawsuits allege that some manufacturers promoted or allowed their mesh products to become widely used in breast reconstruction, augmentation, and revision procedures despite the fact that FDA has not cleared or approved any surgical mesh product for use in breast surgery. The FDA has specifically stated that the safety and effectiveness of surgical mesh in breast surgery, including augmentation and reconstruction, has not been determined.

These internal bra lawsuits allege that manufacturers of products such as AlloDerm, GalaFLEX, Phasix, AlloMax, FlexHD, Strattice, and DuroSorb marketed their devices for breast reconstruction, augmentation, and revision surgeries even though those breast-specific applications had not been adequately studied or cleared by the FDA. Patients were not warned. Surgeons were not given enough information. So when complications developed, including infection, mesh failure, chronic pain, implant loss, breast deformity, and the need for additional surgery, many women had no reason to connect their injuries to the mesh product placed inside them.

Chlorpyrifos Parkinson’s Disease Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Chlorpyrifos lawsuits allege that repeated exposure to this widely used insecticide can contribute to Parkinson’s disease. The people most likely to bring these claims are farmers, pesticide applicators, pest control workers, groundskeepers, greenhouse employees, and others who personally mixed, loaded, sprayed, or cleaned up chlorpyrifos products over months or years.

Chlorpyrifos was sold under trade names that include Dursban, Lorsban, Cobalt, Nufos, Bolton, Stallion, Pilot, Warhawk, and Hatchet. It was used on farms, golf courses, ornamental plants, and residential and commercial properties. Many workers remember the trade name but not the active ingredient. Product identification is therefore one of the first and most important parts of investigating a claim.

California Institute for Women Sex Abuse Lawsuits (CIW)

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

The California Institution for Women, called CIW, is the state’s oldest women’s prison and one of its most troubled. Located in the Chino area of San Bernardino County and operated by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, CIW has long been associated with overcrowding, inadequate medical care, and repeated allegations of sexual abuse by staff.

This page will look at civil lawsuits for sexual abuse of female prisoners at the California Institution for Women in Chino. Inmates at CIW have been subjected to alleged sexual abuse at the hands of correctional officers through threats and coercion. Many inmates have also alleged sexual abuse by the prison OB-GYN during medical exams.

In recent years, former inmates have come forward describing sexual assault by correctional officers and predatory conduct during medical exams, including CIW’s longtime OB-GYN, Dr. Scott Lee. Those revelations have led to civil sexual assault lawsuits, a federal investigation, and renewed scrutiny of how California prisons protect the women in their custody.
