Types of Elder Abuse

• Attorney Elder Abuse; recently, there have been cases of dishonest attorneys convincing elders to unknowingly sign over their entire fortunes to them!;


• Physical Assault and Physical Abuse on an Elder like deprivation of food, physical punishments, restraints and other torture;


• Financial Abuse of Elders and Dependants; Examples include illegally or fraudulently taking an elderly individual’s money;


• Mental Abuse; Examples include verbal abuse, or psychologically intimidating an elderly person through fear, confusion or other methods;


• Decubitus Ulcers; A decubitus ulcer is a pressure sore or what is commonly called a bedsore. However, it can range from a very mild pink coloration of the skin, which disappears in a few hours after pressure is relieved on the area, to a very deep wound extending to and sometimes through a bone into internal organs. In long-term care facilities and nursing homes, decubitus ulcers are generally considered preventable and are largely seen as evidence of some form of neglect. In Southern California, our attorney helps the elderly and their families recover damages for such injuries;


• Neglect; Signs of neglect include bedsores, malnutrition, dehydration and other ailments resulting when an elder is not taken care of properly.
