IFMK Attorneys Obtain Summary Judgment on Denial of Medical Care and Monell Claims in Central Illinois
IFMK Law Shareholder Bhairav Radia and Senior Associate Kyle Moore obtained summary judgment in favor of a sheriff and two county jail correctional officers. Plaintiff alleged that the corrections officers delayed sending him to see an optometrist after he was referred to one by a physician, and the sheriff maintained a policy of denying eyecare services to detainees. The Court entered summary judgment in favor of all defendants after finding that the plaintiff suffered no harm from the four-month delay in seeing the optometrist and no evidence that the jail had a widespread practice of denying eyecare services.
