Attorneys Michael T. van der Veen and Peter P. Adubato have filed a negligence lawsuit on behalf of their client, Jason Sklar, against the George W. Hill Correctional Facility. The complaint, submitted to the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas, alleges that the correctional facility failed to address hazardous conditions in Sklar’s cell, leading to severe injuries. The legal action underscores van der Veen and Adubato’s commitment to holding institutions accountable for the safety and well-being of those in their care.
The case centers around allegations of negligence by the facility, where Sklar was exposed to dangerous living conditions, including a broken plumbing pipe causing flooding and exposed electrical wiring. These conditions reportedly caused Sklar to suffer a debilitating fall, resulting in herniated discs and the aggravation of pre-existing spinal injuries. Sklar seeks damages not exceeding $50,000 to cover medical expenses, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and the loss of enjoyment of life. Van der Veen and Adubato have emphasized that this case is not just about compensation but about enforcing higher safety standards in institutional settings.
Michael van der Veen and Peter Adubato’s work on this case highlights their dedication to fighting for justice and ensuring accountability. Both attorneys bring decades of experience in personal injury law and a proven track record of success in high-stakes litigation. Their advocacy sends a clear message to negligent parties: safety and responsibility cannot be overlooked. By taking on this case, van der Veen and Adubato continue to demonstrate their unwavering commitment to protecting the rights of individuals and achieving meaningful legal outcomes for their clients.
