Elder Abuse Lawyer

Home › Personal Injury Lawyer › Elder Abuse Lawyer

Each year, millions of seniors are abused, neglected, or mistreated in some way. This abuse can take many forms, including physical, emotional, or sexual abuse; financial exploitation; or neglect. Oftentimes the victims of elder abuse are too afraid to speak up and report the abuse, for fear of retribution, helplessness, or further harm.

If you or someone you love is suffering from abuse, it is important to take action as soon as possible.

What Is Elder Abuse?

There are a variety of different types of elder abuse, and the most common forms include:

  • Physical abuse
  • Sexual abuse
  • Emotional or psychological abuse
  • Financial abuse

It is also crucial to be aware of the signs of elder abuse, which can include:

  • Unexplained injuries
  • Changes in behavior or mood
  • Withdrawal from social activities
  • Sudden changes in financial status

Each of these can be very damaging to an elderly person, often causing physical and emotional pain, as well as a loss of independence and dignity. This makes taking action to protect your elder from further abuse and stopping predatory behavior essential.

Preventing Elder Abuse and Holding Criminals Accountable
