Elderly Abuse Los Angeles / Practice / Elders Have Rights
The Ehline Law firm believes the antediluvian should be treated with respect and cared for properly. Moreover, our talented, attentive staff also think every person should be treated with dignity. But this is not the case for some elderly residents. And when there is nursing home abuse or neglect, there are elder abuse laws to protect their rights. Then they can hold responsible for the negligent party. Abuse and negligence can occur in places like nursing homes, rehabilitation facilities, and hospitals.
Sadly, these places are entrusted to care for the elderly. So when an elderly member of the family or friend is a victim of abuse or negligent care, the responsible party should be held accountable. Mostly, this gets done by hiring an elder abuse attorney.
