Clergy sexual abuse and clergy sexual misconduct are problems that span race, gender, and faith. They hit us at our core due to the trust we put in people of faith to work with our children and families in an appropriate manner. Church sex scandals are abound in the media today, but we know that behind these sensational stories there are victims longing to be heard, seeking justice, and looking to protect others from their fate.
Adults sexually abused in their youth by clergy members have often been told that it is too late to file suit when they come forward later in life. Even if you have inquired about a suit against your abuser in the past and have been turned down due the Statute of Limitations, please contact us. The Law Offices of Frederick W. Nessler & Associates, Ltd. is a local firm that is nationally known for its work in clergy abuse cases. We have been working to change the law in Illinois to help bring resolution to victims of clergy abuse. The law has changed and new exceptions may apply to your case. You do not have to suffer in silence; we at Nessler Law are here to help.
At The Law Offices of Frederick W. Nessler & Associates, Ltd., we have obtained multi-million dollar results for several persons injured by trusted religious guides. Please contact the office for a strictly confidential and personal consultation. Several resources exist to obtain counseling, help and other assistance in this regard.
We don't get paid unless your case is settled or won · Call our team of aggressive lawyers today at 217-698-0202 to inquire about how to recover for the abuse you suffered.
As a parent or loved one ages, sometimes the best option is a long term care facility or nursing home. You trust that the caregivers at these facilities will place your loved one first and provide first-rate care and attention to his or her needs. Unfortunately, this does not always happen. Injuries occur. A fall at the nursing home takes place. Pressure ulcers or "bed sores" develop. Sometimes, your loved one is simply ignored. Let The Law Offices of Frederick W. Nessler & Associates, Ltd. help you to achieve justice for the injuries sustained.
YOUR CLAIM MIGHT HELP PREVENT FUTURE VICTIM'S INJURIES
It is very likely that your injury, or you loved one's injury, is not an isolated case. The State of Illinois regularly investigates nursing homes, and those investigations are public record. These investigations are necessary, because nursing home neglect is often all too common in some nursing homes. Illinois keeps a record of its investigations here:
Investigating the cause of a nursing home injury is important. Unfortunately, it is all too often that the victim of nursing home neglect is unable to tell their loved ones what caused their injury, because the victim suffers from dementia or the neglect was so severe that it caused the victim's death. Nessler & Associates will take the initial investigation performed by the state to the next phase. We aggressively use the rules of discovery in Illinois to find out what happened to your loved one.
Our nursing home abuse attorneys are experienced in cases involving:
Failure to care for a loved one
Failure to evaluate the individual needs of a patient
Bedsores and pressure ulcers
Dropped patients
Patients who are allowed to choke or aspirate
Failure to create a care plan to care for the patient's individual needs
Failure to follow the care plan that was in place
Dehydration and starvation
Failure to provide the appropriate medication
Nurses or other staff giving the wrong medication to the wrong patient
Wrongful death
