Elder Abuse

The unfortunate reality is that elder abuse is more prevalent than many people realize. If you suspect that you or someone you care about has been a victim of elder abuse, we are here to help. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us for a free consultation to explore your options.

When it comes to the care of our elderly loved ones, there’s a duty of care that caregivers and institutions must uphold. This means providing a safe and respectful environment for our elders. Elder abuse can take many forms, including physical abuse, emotional abuse, neglect, financial exploitation, and more. If you suspect that a loved one has been mistreated or harmed in any way while under the care of an institution or an individual, you may have a case.

In elder abuse cases, compensation can vary depending on the circumstances. You may be eligible for financial compensation to cover medical expenses and losses related to the abuse, including pain and suffering. Additionally, punitive damages may apply to hold the responsible parties accountable for their actions and to deter future misconduct.

Determining liability in elder abuse cases can be complex. It’s not only the caregivers who may be responsible but also the institutions or organizations that employ them. If they fail in their duty to protect the elderly and provide proper care, they may be held accountable. Financial institutions that allow for financial exploitation may also be liable. We will carefully assess your case to identify all potentially liable parties.
