Racist and Homophobic Harassment

A gay woman was subjected to relentless harassment and vile, derogatory slurs from a neighbor who targeted her because of who she is.

We alleged premises liability.

Rape at a Treatment Facility

A young woman who courageously sought help for her addiction was raped while inside a treatment center, placing her in an even more vulnerable position than when she arrived. We triggered coverage, connected her with the support she needed, and obtained compensation for the profound harm done to her.

Daycare Neglect and Child Abuse

A toddler suffered neglect and battery at the hands of a daycare provider who was trusted to keep children safe. The employee was terminated, and we aggressively pursued the full scope of the psychological trauma inflicted on this child. The result gave the family the resources and closure they needed to move forward and heal. We alleged premises liability and negligent hiring, supervision, and training.
