Elder Abuse and Neglect Attorneys Palm Springs
The number of elder abuse and neglect cases in Palm Springs and throughout California is increasing day by day, and thousands more abused and neglected cases are reported each year. In numerous cases, the seniors are too weak and helpless to speak in their defense. Even after noticing the symptoms and signs of abuse, families are unable to determine the outlook of the case.
Elder abuse is caused due to the negligence of a caregiver who neglects or purposefully harms an elderly person. Elder abuse law exists in every state of the United States for the protection of senior citizens, but it is quite challenging to navigate these laws and bring justice to the abusers.
Elder Abuse and Neglect is a Common Problem in California
It is time to work together to bring a stop to this cruel behavior. As seen below, we have designed a list of common types of mistreatment, abuse, and neglect. It is essential to comprehend the symptoms and signs of abuse to recognize if a loved one has been mistreated.
Carelessness Regarding Health: If senior citizens are suffering from dehydration, infections, malnutrition, pressure ulcers and bed sores, it can be the reason of negligence by a caregiver. Your selected caregiver is unable to give proper attention to the health needs of a senior.
Negligence: This word can cover a broad area, such as refusal of proper care, food, housing and placing elderly adults in a risky place.
Emotional Exploitation: Any situation in which a person imposes emotional pressure on an elder person, such as threats, intimidation, humiliation and verbal abuse.
Physical Exploitation: It can be anything physical, such as restraining, kicking, physically pushing, hitting and shoving.
Sexual Exploitation: Referring to forced and non-consensual sexual acts, even with a senior who is incapable of verbally or physically denying the abuser.
