Criminal Law

• Wrongful Death
  An elder is considered a person that is over the age of sixty and has an inability to take care of themselves, who has a developmental disability, is incapacitated, receives medical care or has been admitted into a facility. Cases of abuse can leave the victim dealing with emotional ramifications that are deep seeded and cause internal scarring. Other times, physical abuse can cause additional health issues to a person that is likely to already be suffering from other ailments. They may suffer catastrophic injuries at the hands of another, or in the worst case situations, a wrongful death. When a case of abuse is expected, it is important to look into the issue further. Often times those that are suffering are afraid or unable to speak up and many cases go unreported that could have been recognized if others around them were more observant of the signs.
• Sex Crimes
  Sexual abuse is an appalling action in any case, and the elderly are not excluded from rape, touching, sexual assault and other actions that are unwanted. They may not always have the ability to contest it, even though if they could they would. Neglect is a highly common form and can be done out of the error of a worker or more intentionally. They can willingly choose to forgo caring for a patient, leaving them to fend for themselves when they are unable to. It can also occur from a worker having too much to do and simply forgetting to adhere to a certain standard for every patient. Neglect may include forgetting to bath them, feed them, dress their wounds or get them out of bed. It can lead to all sorts of repercussions both physically and psychologically.
