The National Center on Elder Abuse recognizes seven different types of elder abuse and negligence, routinely relied upon by lawyers dealing with such cases. The different kinds include::
If a loved one or a member of your family has suffered an accident, injury, or emotional and psychological damage due to nursing home negligence, get in touch with our Los Angeles nursing home negligence attorneys immediately for a law firm that can help.
In terms of criminal law, the State of California has enacted measures in recent years to allow for more effective prosecution of those accused of elder abuse. By state law, the State Attorney General’s Office assigns a prosecutor to vertically prosecute all cases where individuals 65 and older have been financially or physically abused. The aim is to help provide more continuity, and ultimately success, in such cases. California has also implemented specialized forensic review teams to more effectively identify and respond to suspected cases of elder neglect and abuse.
On the civil side, elder negligence and abuse is dealt with at the state level, with some states allowing for the recovery of punitive damages, court costs, and lawyer’s fees in addition to any compensatory damages. Nursing homes and other caretakers can be subject to lawsuits for failing to provide adequate care, over-prescribing or abusing drugs, financial fraud, causing physical accidents or injury, and other forms of abuse or exploitation. Our Los Angeles nursing home neglect attorneys can assist you and your family with understanding the fine points of the legal system, putting together a claim, and successfully advancing your case in a court of law.
If somebody in your family has experienced physical, emotional, or any other form of neglect or abuse at the hands of a nursing home or caretaker, you need a team of experienced lawyers who can help. The Los Angeles nursing home neglect attorneys at our law firm can assist your family with securing the compensation and justice your loved one deserves.
