Posted on by

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) July 01, 2013

The death by suicide of a 17 year old male at Linden Oaks Psychiatric Hospital in Naperville in March 2012 led to a assessment by the hospital of practices at the far west suburban mental overall health facility and resulted in a $ 1.65 million settlement of a wrongful death claim. (Case # 70847, Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois)

&#13

Linden Oaks and the youths loved ones settled the matter without having a lawsuit. Suit was filed soon after the settlement solely for purpose of complying with Illinois law that requires such a wrongful death settlement be Court approved. The final step in the method was the approval of the settlement by Judge Gregory OBrien in Cook County Probate Court.

&#13

In an uncommon move, representatives of Linden Oaks volunteered that as a direct outcome of the boys death, the hospital has produced modifications in their patient processing procedures. According to Jerry A. Latherow of Latherow Law Office in Chicago, the familys lawyer, representatives of Linden Oaks were extremely forthcoming following the boys death. Contrary to the norm, the Linden Oaks administrators instantly stepped up and conceded that errors had been created. Rather than an impersonal form letter of condolence, the hospital exhibited a correct expression of sorrow and regret for any negligence, Latherow explained.

&#13

It is unfortunate that when this type of tragedy happens, a hospitals or healthcare care experts quick reaction is to retreat into a defensive posture. In this case, Linden Oaks exhibited a refreshing willingness to take responsibility and stay away from litigation for them and the suffering loved ones.

&#13

He concluded that, as expected, the family is crushed, but their concentrate in pursuing the claim is to make sure that what happened to their son will by no means take place once again at this facility. The encouraging response by Linden Oaks shows that they actually care about their individuals and intend to find out from this tragedy by engendering reforms that will ultimately pave the way for better mental overall health outcomes for all their individuals.

Kramer and Kaslow: Quick Sale Approach Leads to “Mental Torture” According to Home owners

Posted on by


Calabasas, California (PRWEB) June 14, 2011

Philip Kramer, lead lawyer at the Law Offices of Kramer and Kaslow recently commented on new foreclosure stories reported in the New York Occasions. According to a New York Occasions report, Melanie Brown of Teaneck, New Jersey says that dealing with banks for a short-sale or loan modification is mental torture.

&#13

In the write-up, Ms. Brown says she spent more than two and a half years at the hands of bankers and their computerized bureaucracy. They would demand details, and then delay any response, demand and delay, over and over, mentioned Ms. Brown, 42, a school administrator, about her lender, Bank of America, and its Equator software program technique. I got to feel like a mouse that a cat just kept smacking about.

&#13

The New York Instances spoke with the president of the Mortgage Bankers Association in New Jersey, Maria Guillermina Chaux,who readily conceded. It does take place in this market place that even excellent borrowers wind up getting penalized by lenders, said Chaux.

&#13

Philip Kramer, a senior companion at the law firm of Kramer &amp Kaslow comments, The way lenders do enterprise, they are their own worst enemies. Because the different lenders procedures are so byzantine and due to the fact there is no individual who is responsible for a particular property owners circumstance, files get passed about, information gets lost, and the incompetence ruins lives and destroys our economy.
