A Special Note
Elder abuse is an increasingly serious problem in the United States. As the average life span of Americans increases, many suffer from institutional abuse or neglect by family, friends, and caretakers who are malicious or tragically negligent. These issues are made worse by the fact that many seniors in care do not feel comfortable talking about abuse, for fear that they will not be believed. If you believe that you or a loved one may be a victim of elder abuse, please contact a lawyer immediately. The Federal Nursing Home Reform Act of 1987 gives all residents the right to receive quality care and an environment that improves or maintains their overall physical and mental health. Regardless of who the abuser is, nursing home abuse is a serious federal and state offense and may be a criminal charge. The Firm also has experience dealing with financial exploitation, including illegitimate property transfers and misuse of funds. Contact a lawyer as soon as possible to stop abuse and exploitation and preserve your right to compensation with a promptly filed claim.
