VICTIMS CAN RECOVER EXPENSES AND DAMAGES
Under California’s Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act, victims of physical abuse or their families may recover past and future medical expenses related to the abuse, as well as damages for pain and suffering. However, these cases are complex. As with medical malpractice lawsuits and personal injury claims, they require a great deal of resources to develop and resolve. This is no time to rely on inexperienced legal counsel.
If you have reason to suspect that someone you love has been the victim of physical or financial elder abuse at the hands of a nursing home, hospital or other institution, do not hesitate to protect his or her rights. Call or use the form below to schedule a free consultation.
