Streamwood Behavioral Healthcare System, located in Streamwood, Illinois, is a psychiatric facility providing inpatient and outpatient treatment for children, adolescents, and adults struggling with mental health conditions.

Like its sister facility, Hartgrove Behavioral Health System, Streamwood Hospital is owned and operated by Universal Health Services (UHS), a for-profit corporation with a long history of allegations involving patient neglect, safety violations, and sexual abuse.

Despite its stated mission to provide quality mental health care, Streamwood has been plagued by reports of mistreatment, negligence, and institutional failures, that have led to the sexual abuse of minors.  Allegations include sexual and physical abuse by staff, inadequate supervision of vulnerable patients, and cover-ups of reported incidents rather than proper intervention. These claims mirror broader depressing patterns seen across HS-owned psychiatric facilities nationwide.

Sexual abuse by clergy is one of the most devastating betrayals of trust imaginable. Victims are often children or young adults who are told to revere their spiritual leaders. When priests, pastors, or other religious authorities exploit that trust, the emotional, spiritual, and psychological fallout can last a lifetime.

In Texas, civil lawsuits against churches and clergy have helped survivors expose systemic cover-ups and secure compensation. But legal obstacles still exist, particularly around institutional liability, statutes of limitations, and church immunity defenses. Our lawyers battle to overcome those obstacles to maximize settlement compensation for victims of sexual abuse.

If you are considering filing a civil sex abuse lawsuit, we can help you. Contact us at 800-553-8082 for a free consultation.

Every day, people are injured while riding in Uber vehicles—either as passengers or bystanders. When those injuries are serious, the aftermath is overwhelming. The good news is that Uber carries a $1 million liability policy that can provide substantial compensation in the right circumstances. The personal injury lawyers at Miller & Zois know how to navigate these cases and fight to get our clients the full value of their claims.

Why Uber Accidents Happen

Uber drivers are not professionals. They are everyday drivers using their own vehicles, often without specialized training or commercial licenses. They are under pressure to take more trips, follow GPS directions, and keep passengers happy. That combination leads to mistakes, and those mistakes ultimately result in crashes.  Because Uber passengers are frequently not wearing seatbelts, we see higher rates of ejection and severe injury.
