Our law firm was handling Philips CPAP machine lawsuits for injuries from the recalled Philips CPAP machine.
The Philips recall covered an estimated 3.5 million sleep apnea devices. A CPAP class action lawsuit with thousands of plaintiffs has been consolidated into a multi-district litigation (MDL-1230). So, every Philips CPAP lawsuit in federal court—filed in New York, California, Texas, or wherever—was consolidated in federal court in Pennsylvania.
After the settlement, we are no longer reviewing new cases.

Victims of childhood sexual abuse at MacLaren Hall in Los Angeles County may now be eligible to file civil lawsuits and pursue significant financial compensation. MacLaren Hall, once a county-run facility for children in crisis, has become the focus of widespread legal action after hundreds of former residents came forward with disturbing accounts of sexual abuse, neglect, and systemic mistreatment.
In response to over 6,000 claims of abuse across multiple juvenile institutions, Los Angeles County recently approved a landmark $4 billion sex abuse settlement, one of the largest payouts for institutional abuse in U.S. history. A large number of those claims stem from abuse at MacLaren Hall, which operated for decades with little oversight and became a symbol of institutional failure because of the horrors that occurred there.
Despite this historic settlement, survivors can still file new California detention center lawsuits. Our law firm is representing individuals who were abused at MacLaren Hall and we continue to accept new case for victims under 40 years old. The legal process remains open to survivors who have not yet come forward, including those who may have only recently begun to understand or confront the trauma they experienced.

The Camden County Juvenile Detention Center (CCJDC) is a secure, pre-trial facility located in Blackwood, New Jersey. It serves as the primary detention center for juveniles from Camden County who are awaiting court proceedings related to delinquent behavior. The center accommodates both male and female residents and operates under the oversight of the Camden County Department of Corrections.
Juvenile inmates at CCJDC are required to participate in the facility’s educational program, which involves a normal school schedule Monday thru Friday. In addition to academic instruction, the center offers substance abuse and mental health programs to address underlying issues contributing to delinquent behavior. These programs aim to equip juveniles with the tools necessary for successful reintegration into society.
New Jersey’s juvenile detention facilities have a terrible reputation in terms of neglect and abuse of inmates. The state level juvenile detention centers in New Jersey are widely considered to be some of the worst in the country. CCJDC is somewhat different because it is operated by Camden County rather than the state of New Jersey (which are operated by the New Jersey Juvenile Justice Commission). That does not mean, however, that CCJDC is immune from the same issues that have led to systemic abuse of juvenile inmates in the state facilities.
Like most juvenile facilities, CCJDC has faced numerous allegations of inmate sexual abuse over the years. The frequency of staff-on-inmate sexual abuse is largely the result of institutional neglect and lack of oversight.
These problems are not isolated. Instead, they stem from structural failures, including inadequate supervision, insufficient staff training, chronic understaffing, and poor accountability protocols—all of which have enabled abusive behavior to go unchecked.
One of the most serious failures at CCJDC has been its repeated dismissal of credible allegations from juvenile inmates regarding staff misconduct. Complaints of abuse were frequently disregarded, mishandled, or left uninvestigated, and in some instances, facility administrators allegedly shielded accused staff or actively suppressed evidence of wrongdoing.
Camden County has a legal and constitutional obligation to take reasonable measures to protect juvenile detainees at CCJDC from sexual abuse and assault. This duty includes not only preventing misconduct by staff members but also safeguarding youth from harm posed by other detainees. To meet this obligation, Camden County was required to develop, implement, and enforce comprehensive policies and procedures aimed at preventing sexual abuse within the facility.
Despite this mandate, mounting evidence suggests that Camden County failed to fulfill its responsibilities at CCJDC. Reports of abuse were met with inadequate responses from both state authorities and facility personnel. These failures included poor staff supervision, ineffective or nonexistent policies, insufficient training, and a lack of meaningful safety protocols.
As a result of this negligence, Camden County may be held liable through civil litigation. Individuals who experienced sexual abuse while confined at CCJDC may have the legal right to seek compensation for the harm they suffered as a result of Camden County’s failure to protect them.
Victims of sexual abuse or assault at juvenile facilities such as CCJDC often believe they must know the name of the staff member who harmed them in order to pursue legal action. This is actually NOT true. Victims are not legally required to identify or name their abuser at the time a civil lawsuit is filed.
In fact, most victims who file juvenile detention sex abuse lawsuits are not able to provide the name of their abuser. Most victims are only able to provide a general physical description of the person(s) who abused them. A general description of the perpetrator or the circumstances surrounding the abuse is all that is necessary to move forward with a civil lawsuit.
Once the case is initiated, the discovery process allows attorneys to obtain additional information—such as staff rosters, surveillance records, and internal reports—which can assist in identifying the individual responsible.
Although identification is not necessary to file a claim, being able to name the abuser can significantly strengthen the case. This is particularly true if the staff member has a documented history of misconduct, prior allegations of abuse, or if they have been criminally charged for similar offenses. Such details can help establish a pattern of behavior and support claims of negligence by the facility.
If you’re thinking about filing a lawsuit for sexual abuse that happened at CCJDC, you might be wondering how much a case like this could be worth. The truth is, it depends on several factors. Here’s a breakdown of what can affect the potential settlement:

This page looks at sexual abuse lawsuits involving juvenile inmates at the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center (commonly known as the Audy Center or Audy Home).
Like many juvenile detention facilities across Illinois, rampant sexual abuse, violence, and mistreatment plagued the Audy Center for decades. For too long, Cook County officials and detention leadership failed to protect the vulnerable youth in their custody, allowing widespread abuse to occur behind locked doors. Staff misconduct, systemic negligence, and an entrenched culture of silence turned the facility into a breeding ground for trauma rather than rehabilitation. As a result, survivors are now stepping forward to file lawsuits, seeking not only compensation for their suffering but also accountability for a system that betrayed them.
If you believe you have a potential sex abuse lawsuit involving the Audy Center in Cook County, contact our sex abuse lawyers today at 800-553-8082 or get a free online consultation. We are committed to fighting for survivors and holding Cook County and its officials accountable for the harm they allowed to happen.
