California Elder Abuse Lawyer

Choose a California elder abuse lawyer on the side of victims

Elder law is a growing area as the nation's population continues to age. Nearly 40 million people age 65 or older live in the United States today, representing about 13 percent of the population. By 2030, it's estimated more than 72 million Americans will be over 65, according to the U.S. Administration on Aging.

Tragically, the mistreatment of seniors is on the rise. While people are living longer than ever, older California residents and their families are facing difficult issues related to aging such as nursing home abuse and neglect and other forms of elder abuse.

California elder abuse and nursing home injuries

The safety of the nation's most vulnerable people is vital, but sadly some nursing homes have their priorities mixed up. Some administrators put profits ahead of the health and well-being of the residents, which can result in serious nursing home abuse injuries and even fatalities. Bed sores, physical assaults, malnutrition and dehydration are a few examples of the types of abuse and neglect cases we handle.

Older people may need significant health care, which can include visits to doctors and hospitals. When medical professionals fail to meet certain standards of care, you may have grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit. Our lawyers have the resources and experience to protect the rights of people affected by professional negligence.
