New Jersey Sexual Assault in Hospitals Lawyer
Experienced Medical Malpractice Attorneys Represent Victims of Sexual Assault in Hospitals in Bergen County and Across New Jersey
Sexual assault in hospitals is a disturbing event that happens with surprising frequency. Many such incidents are perpetrated by hospital employees, and some involve one patient assaulting another. Whoever the instigator, the victim deserves to have a voice, to receive compensation for physical and emotional injuries, and to see the aggressor held responsible.
At The Epstein Law Firm, we fight on behalf of assault victims throughout New Jersey. Hospitals are supposed to be safe places where people go to receive treatment for their problems. When patients are instead subjected to sexual violence and molestation, our attorneys take strong and swift action.
If you were the victim of a sexual assault in a hospital, come forward and talk about it with an experienced and compassionate lawyer. You can reach The Epstein Law Firm at 201-231-7847 or send us an email to schedule a free consultation. If we take your case, we will work on contingency, charging you no attorneys’ fees until you receive a settlement or verdict.
Dealing With A Sexual Assault That Took Place In A Hospital And Have Questions? We Can Help, Tell Us What Happened.
You Are Not Alone
Sexual assault often goes unreported because the victim feels ashamed or embarrassed about what happened. We want you to know that you are far from the only one who has been victimized by this inexcusable conduct. Doctors and nurses across the country have been discovered engaging in unwanted sexual acts with patients. And, it is not uncommon for one patient to attack another when no hospital staff is present.
It Can Happen in Any Part of the Hospital
Patients have been molested in pediatric wings, orthopedic wings and across other parts of hospital facilities. The psychiatric ward is a place where sexual assaults seem to occur with more frequency. Medical staff members may see psychiatric patients as potential victims for any number of reasons, but often because the mental and psychological conditions of psychiatric patients render it difficult for them to report the assault.
There have also been a number of incidents in New Jersey and elsewhere where psychiatric patients were left unsupervised and were able to make their way to other parts of the facility, where the patient then assaulted another patient.
