Elder Abuse Attorney
About Elder Abuse in the Suffolk County
As more of our population ages, many more are placed in assisted living arrangements or in nursing homes. As a result, there has been an increase in the number of seniors who are facing elder abuse due to the neglect of the caretakers in these facilities. When a loved one has been the victim of elder abuse, contacting a Suffolk County personal injury attorney immediately is important to protect their safety as well as their rights.
Elder abuse can take many forms, including such things as:
- Verbal abuse
- Improper nutrition
- Lack of proper medication
- Overmedication
- Physical abuse
- Sexual abuse
- Financial exploitation
While this abuse most often occurs in a facility, it can also be perpetrated upon the senior by relatives or home caregivers as well. Sometimes a younger person will ingratiate themselves into the person's life in order to financially exploit the elderly person. The Law Offices of Charles Bonfante III & Associates has extensive experience helping seniors and their families who have suffered some form of abuse by another. They are well acquainted with the laws that protect the elderly and can pursue compensation for any damages suffered at the hands of another.
