Types of Cases We Handle
Sexual Assault or Battery by Another Patient
Facilities must know who they admit and protect every patient in their care. When they don't screen for risk or maintain safe supervision, the people most vulnerable are the ones who pay the price.

You Deserved Protection. The Facility Had a Duty to Provide It.
You entered treatment at one of the most vulnerable moments of your life and were promised a safe environment. The facility was responsible for knowing who they admitted alongside you, how those individuals were supervised, and what safeguards were in place to protect everyone in their care.
How negligence happens:
No screening for violent or predatory behavior
Unsafe housing or poor supervision in shared spaces
Complaints or red flags ignored by staff
High-risk patients placed with vulnerable individuals
What happened to you was not inevitable, and it was not your fault. It was the result of specific decisions a facility made — or failed to make — about admission screening, housing arrangements, and supervision. You were in their care. Their failure to protect you is a legal failure, and it can be challenged.
We Pursue Accountability From the Facility — Not Just the Individual Who Caused Harm
In cases involving patient-on-patient assault, the facility is almost always a responsible party — because they controlled the environment, the supervision, the intake screening, and the policies that allowed the harm to occur. Ryan and Susan investigate every decision that led to the assault, including the complaints that were ignored and the red flags that were never acted on.
We handle these cases with care, with full confidentiality, and with the determination that comes from knowing this harm was preventable. We pursue full legal accountability for the trauma, the cost of care, and everything that followed the moment the facility failed to protect you.
