Riverside Jail Deaths Attorney

If your loved one wrongfully died in prison, whether it was due to the authorities’ wrongful direct actions or their negligence, you or your family could be entitled to compensation.

The Riverside jail death lawyers at Skapik Law Group passionately believe that everyone deserves their day in court, no matter what the circumstances are.

The authorities can be made to answer for their actions, and we can help you get the answers that you deserve and potentially the financial compensation to which you are entitled.

Clients come back to Skapik Law Group because they are pleased with the representation we provide and the results we get. Client Marr D. writes: “I have absolutely no bad words to say about these guys. They are still representing me in a class action suit brought against San Bernardino County and I’m confident the outcome will be just as rewarding as the first.”

One’s civil rights do not terminate merely because they are incarcerated. Prison authorities still owe certain duties and obligations to inmates. If an inmate dies in prison, you may be able to hold the prison authorities liable for the death of your family member, depending on the circumstances of the death.

Common Causes of Wrongful Jail Deaths

Some examples of jail and inmate deaths that could be the basis for a wrongful jail death lawsuit are:

• Being assaulted or beaten to death by jail staff or prison authorities
• Committing suicide when they should have been under watch
• Being assaulted by a fellow inmate when authorities should have had them under protection
• Failing to get medical help for an inmate when it is necessary
• An inmate dying of a drug overdose or withdrawal when they were not supervised, or authorities negligently let drugs into the prison
• Introducing inmates to toxic conditions inside the prison
• Keeping inmates in extremely dangerous conditions of confinement
