Elder Abuse Lawyer Boston, MA
Many elderly people lack the physical strength to fight off an abuser, and some lack the cognitive discernment to realize that they are being abused or neglected. Elder abuse is more than just shoving, pinching, or slapping an elderly person, although physical abuse is quite common, especially in long-term memory care facilities. Elder abuse also includes financial abuse and fraud, psychological and emotional abuse, and sexual abuse (which can happen to both women and men).
Our Boston elder abuse lawyer takes a hard line against people who cannot protect themselves from abuse. We help you and your family protect your loved one by exposing abusers and property management companies that permit risky conditions or fail to provide needed oversight. We file a civil court claim, not a criminal one, though abusers may also face criminal charges. Our role is to demand fair compensation from all parties who contributed to your loved one’s harm.
The compensation your loved one receives can cover their medical and psychological treatment, so they can hear, replenish any money or property stolen from them, and provide the means to move them to a safer care facility or hire new, safe caregivers. We handle all the legal matters necessary to pursue the claim, giving you the advice you need at each stage of the case. We want to help you protect your family member and get the justice you need.
