Elder and dependent adult abuse means the mistreatment of an elderly
person (65 years or older) or a dependent adult (a person between 18
and 64 years of age with physical or mental disabilities that restrict
his or her ability to carry out normal activities or to protect his or
her rights, and includes an inpatient in an acute or sub-acute care facility).
Our Orange County personal injury attorneys will fight for a settlement you deserve and will be there to help you through this tough time. We handle elder abuse lawsuits in Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside and San Bernardino.
Abuse has four categories:
While the majority of abusers are usually the family members of the elderly
or the dependent adult, abuse may also be committed by professional conservators,
care givers or nursing homes to whom the care of an elderly or dependent
adult has been entrusted. Loss for pain and suffering of even a deceased
elderly or dependent adult, punitive damages and attorney’s fees
may be recovered if it is proved that the abuse was reckless, malicious,
fraudulent or oppressive
