Elder abuse can happen anywhere – in the elder’s own home, in a relative’s house, or at a nursing care facility. The abuse can be physical or emotional. Elder abuse is difficult to define because it takes so many different forms, but at its core it is taking advantage of a person who is vulnerable. This can range from physical abuse (like beating or neglect) to sexual assault, isolation, theft, or abandonment (leaving an elderly person alone who cannot care for herself). The effects of this abuse can range from serious injuries (such as broken bones or bed sores) to financial ruin (theft of the elderly person’s assets by a trusted caregiver, family member, or clever salesman) and even to death (in cases of severe abuse or neglect). Our experienced Elder Abuse and Neglect Attorneys can help protect victims and hold wrongdoers accountable.

Elder abuse isn’t always intentional. Caregivers are sometimes overwhelmed, or tired, or just plain careless. An elderly person who has been harmed either intentionally or negligently may have a claim for abuse.
