Our Commitment In Action
Our firm has experience in handling medical sexual abuse cases. In one case, featured in the San Francisco Chronicle, we represented seven women who alleged that they were sexually abused by an ultrasound technician at a Los Banos hospital between 2020 and 2022. According to the women, the technician engaged in wrongful sexual behavior, such as touching them inappropriately and using the ultrasound probe in an improper manner. The women also allege that the company that owns the hospital did not respond properly to complaints about the technician’s conduct. Our participation in this lawsuit, and others like it, underscores our commitment to fighting medical sexual assault.
