No brindar atención médica adecuada a los reclusos es una violación de los derechos civilesAs briefly mentioned above, inmates have rights both on the federal and state level. For the sake of brevity, we will focus on the federal level – and the U.S. Constitution. Under the eighth amendment, prisoners are protected against cruel and unusual punishment; this extends the right to adequate medical care to all inmates. The failure to provide medical care when a prison is aware or should be aware that an inmate is injured or is sick is a direct violation of inmates’ eight amendment rights. By no means are prisons expected to provide the highest level of medical care to their inmates; rather, they are required to provide sufficient medical care. Even though these are already low standards, many prisons still fail to meet these standards and provide inmates with basic medical care.
Yes – you could sue if the prison failed to provide you or your loved one with adequate medical attention. As already mentioned, the eighth amendment provides prisoners with certain protections during their prison stay; adequate medical care falls under these protections. Because of this, you can sue if you were denied adequate medical care. You can even sue for any complications or other issues that developed as a direct result of lack of care, delayed care, or inadequate care. For more information about your right to sue, contact us today.
¿Qué pasa si la atención médica recibida fue negligente?Negligent medical care does not constitute a violation of the eighth amendment. In fact, negligent medical care is considered medical malpractice and is a different issue altogether. Still, if you or a loved one suffered harm due to medical negligence at a prison hospital, you could file a medical malpractice lawsuit. Again, this is a separate issue – so it is a separate claim entirely.
¿Cuánto tiempo tengo para demandar?Todos claims are subject to a statute of limitations, or a deadline to sue. If you are suing for civil rights violations in a prison, you will have to file a government claim. Government claims are subject to a strict six-month statute of limitations. Depending on how the state entity responds to your claim, you can then have either six months to file or two years to file. Of course, this can be confusing. To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the time that you have to file your lawsuit for a prison’s failure to provide medical care, contact the team here at our law firm immediately.
