Protecting Your Elderly Loved Ones From Exploitation and Abuse
The elderly are among the most vulnerable members of our society. The sad fact is that some people choose the elderly as the target for scams and abuse precisely because they are more vulnerable than other members of society. In many cases, the only defense against unfettered elder abuse at the hands of society is an experienced attorney.
At Marcus & Mack, we have more than 30 years of legal experience. Our Pittsburgh elder abuse lawyers defend our Pennsylvania clients against the perils of elder abuse, which can take many forms. Talk with one of our lawyers to learn how we can help you protect your elderly relative from abuse and obtain adequate compensation for any losses incurred as a result of elder abuse.
Forms of Elder Abuse
Elder abuse can take many forms, including:
- Financial exploitation: Many elderly people do not understand the finer nuances of modern technology, and they can be more trusting of people's good intentions. Many attempt to take advantage of this. Scam artists, nursing facilities, and even family and friends attempt to exploit the elderly financially.
- Physical abuse: Because the body's natural strength declines with age, many elderly people are unable to defend themselves from physical abuse.
- Nursing home neglect and abuse: Sadly, the carelessness and negligence of nursing homes and elder-care facilities are often the direct cause of injuries and illnesses to elderly citizens.
