Elder Abuse Neglect
Unfortunately elder abuse neglect is a common category of wrongful death cases. We have handled hundreds of cases of preventable harm to seniors and vulnerable adults. Most cases are against medical providers such as hospitals or elder care facilities such as skilled nursing homes, assisted living, memory care and group homes.
