Chicago Lakeshore Hospital was meant to be a place of healing, but for far too many vulnerable children and teens, it became a nightmare of sexual abuse, physical violence, and psychological trauma. Survivors of Chicago Lakeshore Hospital sexual abuse deserve justice, and our firm is committed to holding those responsible fully accountable.
Chicago Lakeshore Hospital Sexual Abuse Allegations
Investigations and lawsuits over the past few years exposed horrific allegations of systemic abuse at Lakeshore Hospital, which was eventually closed before it was purchased by Acadia Healthcare and ultimately re-opened as Montrose Behavioral Health Hospital.
Allegations against the behavioral health and addiction treatment center included staff assaulting patients and failing to protect children from harm. ProPublica Illinois and The Chicago Tribune in separate investigations “revealed numerous allegations of sexual abuse, assault and patient safety violations at the hospital,” ProPublica reported in December 2019.
Unfortunately, survivors of Chicago Lakeshore Hospital abuse have since detailed years of suffering at the Illinois institutional facility. These abuses represent an unforgivable betrayal of trust, and no amount of compensation can undo the damage. But legal action can provide survivors with the resources they need to heal while sending a powerful message that such abuse will not be tolerated.
