Sexual abuse in a healthcare setting is a profound betrayal of trust, one that leaves lasting physical, emotional, and psychological scars. If you or a loved one suffered sexual abuse at Lake Behavioral Hospital or another Illinois treatment facility, you deserve justice, accountability, and compassionate legal support. Our firm may be able to help survivors hold negligent institutions like this one responsible for failing to protect vulnerable patients.
Recent reports allege that minor patients at Illinois residential treatment facilities – which may include Lake Behavioral Hospital, a mental health and addiction treatment facility in Waukegan, Illinois – were subjected to sexual assault or inappropriate contact by staff or other patients. These claims suggest systemic failures in hiring, supervision, and patient safety protocols.
When hospitals and residential treatment centers neglect their duty to provide a safe environment, they must be held accountable. That’s how the team at Phillips Law Group can help.
At Phillips Law Group, our legal team investigates these claims thoroughly and may be able to pursue compensation for medical and therapy expenses, pain and suffering, emotional trauma and PTSD, lost wages and diminished quality of life, and more.
Sexual abuse cases against healthcare institutions like Lake Behavioral Hospital are complex. These facilities often have powerful legal teams working to minimize liability. Fortunately, the personal injury attorneys at our firm are not afraid to take on powerful institutions and have a proven track record for being able to successfully win cases against them.
Survivors of sexual abuse in a residential treatment facility need an attorney who understands Illinois laws governing sexual abuse claims, including extended statutes of limitations for survivors. Lawyers tackling these cases also need to keenly understand institutional negligence and be able to prove how the facility failed in its duty to protect patients.
Finally, a sexual abuse lawsuit attorney has to understand the very sensitive nature of these cases, ensuring survivors are treated with dignity and respect. Phillips Law Group may be able to assist.
