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).

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. If you or your loved one has been the victim of elder abuse, please contact us for a free interview with no obligation.

Meet Our Team

Andersen & Linthorst Attorneys At Law

Personal Injury Lawyers in Oregon

Experienced. Focused. Service.

We are here because we have a passion for correcting injustice and helping injured people be treated fairly after the losses they have suffered. Insurance companies take advantage of people in almost every case, and we are here to help.

We’re with you every step of the way, from the moment we accept your case until it’s finally resolved. Your case may be settled through “informal negotiations,” “mediation,” “arbitration,” or possibly even a “jury trial“. Regardless of which process is used, you will always be the one to decide whether to accept or reject an offer to settle. We’ll help you understand your options at each point of decision, so that you can decide what is right for you. If the insurance company agrees to pay a fair amount, an out-of-court settlement is the best option. But if the insurance company won’t deal fairly, we are fully able and willing to take your case to court.raphy

You may contact us at any time. If you are not yet a client, we provide a free first interview with absolutely no obligation.
