Find an Elder Abuse Attorney

The elderly deserve to receive proper care. They deserve to be treated as fellow human beings with respect and compassion. Unfortunately, elder abuse occurs in far too many nursing homes, assisted living facilities and even family homes across the U.S. If you believe that a loved one has been the victim of elder abuse or mistreatment of any kind, you may be able to take legal action. State and federal laws protect the elderly from abuse, enforcing civil and criminal penalties on offenders. The best way to determine what legal recourse you may have is by involving an attorney.

With an understanding of elder abuse and personal injury laws in your area, an attorney can advise you of the right course of action to stop the abuse from continuing to occur and to recover financial compensation from the accountable party by way of a personal injury lawsuit. This can help with the medical expenses and other financial losses or damages caused by physical abuse, sexual abuse or neglect.
