If you suspect a loved one is being abused—financially, emotionally, or physically—talk to the elder abuse attorneys at our law firm.

• Is your loved one in a nursing home? Have you noticed signs of neglect? Report the nursing home negligence and talk to a lawyer about preventing the neglect in the future and about compensation for past neglect. Neglect may include medication mistakes (or deliberate over-medication), dehydration, malnutrition, bed sores, and evidence of falls.
• Nursing home abuse can occur when the staff is poorly selected, trained, or supervised. Sometimes elder abuse is caused by one nursing home resident abusing another—a situation that indicates poor supervision of patients. If falls, broken bones, or bruises are unexplained, if a nursing home resident seems suddenly fearful, or if you suspect any type of abuse, including sexual abuse, our elder abuse attorneys can advise you about your options.
• Often vulnerable elderly people are victims of fraud and financial abuse. Even trusted family members and financial advisors are sometimes guilty of defrauding elderly people. Some businesses offer false promises to elderly people. If a loved one is the victim of theft or fraud, tell us about it.

Do not lose your right to sue. There are statutes of limitations on elder abuse claims. You have 6 months to give notice from the date of the accident. By filing a claim quickly, you will protect those rights. Contact a personal injury lawyer to discuss your case. The consultation is free. All of our fees for injury cases are contingency based: You owe no attorney fees unless we recover funds for you.
