Shelby Co., Ill. (ECWd) –
We covered the dismissal of the Sheriff from the lawsuit brought by Chad Hammond in this article. According to the public records obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Shelby County State’s Attorney, ADVANCED CORRECTIONAL HEALTHCARE (ACH)
and USA MEDICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL STAFFING (USA MEDICAL) has entered into an agreed-upon settlement and release of all claims.
The settlement only provided Hammond with $1,000.00, which is nowhere near the $1,100,000.00 provided in the settlement for Nicholas Banning, of which $250,000.00 was with the same medical provider, ACH as covered in this article.
Why so little compared to the Banning case, considering there was a very similar lack of medical care claim? We suspect this is the difference between having an experienced law firm handle your case versus handling it pro se as Hammond did.
A copy of the settlement agreement and release of all claims can be downloaded at this link or viewed below.

Posted at 21:04h, 02 JulyWonder how long until the Sheriff stops contracting with this outfit? Perhaps he should manage the jail instead of putting it I the hands of a company who is not present. The jail is his responsibility. Slow learner.
