Helping Families Obtain Justice
Some prison deaths are preventable with the right medical attention and psychosocial care. Prisons are responsible for addressing inmates' psychological or emotional needs. Often, inmates discuss their emotional concerns with the prison's social workers.
Unfortunately, social workers are often overworked with little time to address inmates' concerns. In other circumstances, correctional officers and security guards have been known to simply ignore social workers' recommendations for appropriate psychological care.
Our law firm's civil rights attorneys are prepared to hold prisons accountable for medical neglect. Whether a prisoner's suicide stemmed from inadequate psychological treatment or failure to recognize warning signs, we will pursue justice.
Proving Fault and Seeking Maximum Compensation
Our law firm's civil rights attorneys will subpoena your family member's medical records and any statements given to the prison's social workers. We are prepared to show appropriate medical and psychological care could have prevented your loved one's suicide. Our legal team will pursue maximum compensation against the prison covering emotional, physical, and physiological damages.
