Elder Abuse
A South Carolina Elder Abuse Lawyer PROTECTS RIGHTS OF VICTIMS!
South Carolina, not to mention all of America, is aging rapidly. Statistics show that between 1990 and 2020, the number of people over 50 will increase by 74 percent. Elder abuse is becoming more of a social problem. Elder abuse can take many forms. The five types of elder abuse are:
- Emotional or psychological abuse
- Financial exploitation
- Neglect of yourself/neglect by your caregiver
- Physical abuse
- Sexual abuse
If you or a loved one is a victim of elder abuse, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering and mental anguish and emotional distress, among other potential damages. Turn to a South Carolina elder abuse lawyer at Peake & Fowler Law Firm, P.A. for a free and confidential consultation.
The abuse may come from someone the elderly person must rely on for basic needs or support. While elder abuse is sometimes committed by family members, the victim might be injured by an unrelated caregiver.
Injuries from Elder Abuse May Be Difficult to Detect
Injuries may range from hard-to-detect psychological injuries to direct physical violence resulting in bone fractures or injuries requiring surgery.
