Holding Prisons Responsible for Preventable Death of a Prison Inmate
If your loved one died as the result of medical malpractice while in prison, we will seek to hold at-fault parties accountable. Our law firm’s civil rights attorneys will investigate the care your loved one received. We also consult industry experts to understand if the prison failed to implement standard medical care. We are prepared to prove fault in a wide wage of prison medical neglect cases, involving:
- Failure to diagnose cancer;
- Delayed diagnosis or treatment of diabetes and other medical disorders that lead to complications;
- Failure to provide medical treatment to reduce the chance of a heart attack; or
- Failure to identify warning signs of heart failure, diabetes and other illnesses.
We also seek justice for families who tragically lost loved ones from prison neglect. Inmates are known to fight with each other, but prison guards are responsible to take action. We will seek to hold prisons accountable for failing to respond to reoccurring assaults leading to tragic homicides.
Proving Fault in Prisoner Death Cases
We will subpoena medical records and any statements your family member gave to the prison’s social workers. Our legal team has the skills to prove negligence was a factor in your loved one’s death. We will pursue maximum compensation against the prison including damages for emotional, physical and physiological injuries.
