Fighting for the Health Care Our Clients Deserve
People who are confined to a jail, prison, psychiatric hospital, treatment center, group home, nursing home or other institutions are some of the most vulnerable members of our society when it comes to health care.
At Clancy Law, we represent prisoners and other individuals throughout the state of Illinois who have been wrongfully deprived of medical care at corrections facilities and other institutions. To put our resources and more than 75 years of combined experience to work for you, call or contact us today for a free consultation.
Prisoner Health Care Issues
The United States Supreme Court has said that depriving any prisoner of needed health care services is a violation of that prisoner's Eighth Amendment rights against cruel and unusual punishment. And yet, in Illinois and in other states across the country, prisoners are routinely denied access to needed health care services.
The Illinois Department of Corrections (DOC) houses more than 40,000 inmates. Each and every one of these prisoners is completely and totally dependent on the jail or prison for all of their personal health care needs. Unfortunately, corrections facilities have often failed to meet this basic responsibility.
Few lawyers in the United States are able to match the level of experience that Clancy Law Firm brings to prisoner health care litigation. Our attorneys have handled many prisoners' health care-related civil rights claims under Section 1983 of the United States Code and under applicable state laws.
Taking the Initiative to Protect Your Rights
If a jail, or a prison or another type of institution has intentionally denied or delayed your access to medical care, or has intentionally interfered with a medical treatment that was prescribed for you — our lawyers can help.
