When vulnerable people are abused, there are special laws in place to protect you and your loved ones.

Abuse can be at the hands of a spouse, close family member, paid or volunteer caregiver, neighbor, or another resident (in a nursing home or other institution). Many times these cases involve more than one defendant – for instance institutional abuse if the abuse has occurred at a care facility. Our personal injury attorneys are caring and compassionate, spending time with our clients to fully understand all aspects of their physical and emotional injuries. We will work closely with you every step of the way to make sure you understand your choices and help you make the best decisions for your situation.

Child Abuse

Any act or failure to act that results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse, or exploitation of a child is considered child abuse. Individuals who abuse children should be held responsible and our firm can help accomplish that.

Elder Abuse

Abuse of someone 65 or older is considered elder abuse. If you or a loved one has experienced elder abuse in any form, including physical, psychological, sexual, or financial abuse or neglect, we will aggressively litigate your case.

Dependent Persons Abuse

Dependent Persons abuse is defined as the abuse of someone between 18 and 64 with mental or physical disabilities that keep him or her from being able to do normal activities or protect himself or herself. If you or a loved one is a dependent adult and has suffered physical, sexual or psychological abuse or neglect, we will work tirelessly to hold the other party responsible.
