Los Angeles County is at the center of one of the largest institutional child sexual abuse scandals in American history. Survivors of horrific abuse in juvenile halls and foster homes operated by the county have finally begun to see long-overdue justice after decades of silence, retaliation, and systemic neglect.

On April 29, 2025, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved a $4 billion settlement to resolve more than 6,800 claims of child sexual abuse spanning a period of over 60 years. This settlement is the largest of its kind in U.S. history, surpassing even the Catholic Church and Boy Scouts of America in total payout.

The lawsuits primarily center on abuse committed by county employees, probation officers, and foster care workers. Many of these acts occurred at juvenile detention centers such as Barry J. Nidorf, Central Juvenile Hall, Los Padrinos, and various probation camps. Thousands of survivors suffered in silence, only recently able to come forward due to new legal reforms in California.

Forest View Hospital in Grand Rapids, Michigan, presents itself as a psychiatric treatment center committed to patient care and emotional well-being. The facility talks up healing, support, and community. But behind the branding lies a troubling reality that has been officially documented through state investigations, patient accounts, criminal prosecutions, and whistleblower litigation.

The allegations are no longer rumors. They are written into inspection reports, sworn statements, and federal settlements. And they suggest a deeply embedded culture of negligence and abuse — not only at Forest View, but across dozens of psychiatric hospitals owned by Universal Health Services (UHS).

If you were abused in a Michigan facility like Forest View Hosptial, you want to talk to our lawyers.  We can help you evaluate all your options—confidentially and at no cost.”  Call us at 800-553-8082 or contact us online for a free case evaluation.

Our lawyers are handling Similac and Enfamil infant formula lawsuits for families whose premature babies suffered or died from necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) after taking one of these formulas.  Our law firm is reviewing NEC lawsuits in all 50 states.

Medical research links cow milk-based infant formulas such as Similac and Enfamil to a dangerous neonatal medical condition known as necrotizing enterocolitis.  These newborn NEC formula lawsuits make a lot of allegations.  But at their core, they allege that the makers of these formulas knew of the risk of NEC and did nothing to warn families and give them a choice.

If your premature baby was diagnosed with NEC after being given Similac or Enfamil formula, you may be able to participate in a class action lawsuit against the formula companies and receive financial compensation for the harm that was done to your child.
