Lack of Medical Care in Custody

Abuses in the Prison System

Everyone knows that our prison system is overcrowded, especially in California.  With this overcrowding we also have underfunding of medical care for the prison population.  Sadly lacking in resources, many inmates are daily suffering from injuries and illnesses and failing to get the proper medical care they need.  Even basic treatment is often denied, resulting in a minor complaint turning into a more serious and sometimes fatal problem.  If you or a loved one is experiencing the bad effects of lack of medical care while in custody, a Los Angeles federal crimes lawyer from Kaye, McLane & Bednarski, LLP can provide astute and caring legal representation. 

While the law provides for inmates to receive proper health care, it varies from prison to prison and is often provided at the whim of prison guards.  Chronic problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes or asthma are often ignored, resulting in heart attacks, severe asthma reactions or even death from insulin shock.  When you are facing such circumstances, allowing our firm to help you with your battle for humane medical care can be sought through a civil lawsuit.
