Ray v. State

In Ray v. State (1992), 44 Ill. Ct. Cl. 173, the Court denied the claims of an inmate who broke his finger in an altercation. In that case, it was alleged there was inadequate and negligent medical treatment, including delays in treatment and in obtaining an x-ray of the hand, which caused the finger to heal improperly. However, the Claimant failed to adduce proof as to the applicable standard of care and the State's deviation from that standard and the claim was denied.
