Elder Abuse
Elder abuse can usually be categorized in three ways: institutional, domestic, or self-neglect. Institutional elder abuse takes place in nursing homes. People who commit institutional abuse usually have a legal or contractual obligation to provide elders with care and protection. Domestic elder abuse refers to any maltreatment of an older person by someone who has a special relationship with the elder (spouse, sibling, child, friend, or caregiver). Such incidents usually take place in the elder’s home or the home of their caregiver.
Elder abuse may range from physical, to sexual, to emotional abuse and neglect. Any of these types of elder abuse are legally actionable, and time should not be wasted when seeking legal advice.
If you or someone you know has been injured due to elder abuse, you may be entitled to monetary compensation. Please fill out the form below for a free evaluation of your claim by an experienced attorney. There is no cost or obligation for this service.
