ELDER ABUSE MAY BE FINANCIAL, EMOTIONAL OR PHYSICAL ABUSE—CALL EXPERIENCED PINOLE, CALIFORNIA PERSONAL INJURY LAWYERS FOR FREE CONSULTATION (Part 1 of 2)

Many Americans are not aware that there is a form of abuse targeted at senior citizens, much less the different kinds of abuse that elder abuse includes. Some families do not realize that their elderly family members are being abused until it is too late. Often times the senior citizens are being abused by those people close to them, whether it is caretakers or even family members themselves. Senior citizens are reluctant to report these abusers because their everyday care and future depends on these individuals. Those being abused might feel as though the abuser is the only person left to care for them and may be willing to endure the abuse. If you have been abused by a family member or a caretaker, call the attorneys at Greenberg & Rudman LLP now at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO) —we may be able to help.

There are several different types of elder abuse, including physical, emotional and financial. Physical elder abuse includes using physical force to intimidate the person, but may also include things like withholding meals or basic human needs. Emotional abuse may involve the abuser using words to threaten the abused. Financial abuse occurs when the abuser somehow controls the senior citizen’s finances and uses the money to his own benefit. Even though financial and emotional abuse might not leave a mark physically, all of these forms of abuse can be detrimental to the senior citizen’s well being.

Those abusing the elderly citizens may be nursing home facilities, independent caretakers or family members.
