Miami Elder Abuse Lawyer

Seeking Justice for Elderly Adults

The transition from being cared for to being the caretaker can be a difficult one, both physically and emotionally. Most people experience this transition right in the middle of the busiest times of their lives and they can’t afford to take a day off, no matter how badly their parents may need their assistance.

Many people decide to trust caregivers at home or in nursing home facilities to care for their parents. Unfortunately, there are cases where caregivers take advantage of those that are unable to stand up for themselves, committing elder abuse against those who are the most vulnerable.

Just because the seniors in your home may not be able to stand up for themselves in that moment doesn’t mean that there’s not a personal injury lawyer that can fight for their right to be treated fairly. If your loved one has been abused, it’s important to seek legal representation from Amanda Demanda Injury Lawyers as soon as possible.

What Is Elder Abuse?

There are different types of abuse that can qualify as elder abuse under Florida law.

Here’s how the law in Florida defines elderly abuse and neglect:

• Intentionally inflicting physical or psychological injuries on an elderly adult
• Encouraging an elderly adult to commit an act that will most likely result in physical or psychological injuries
• Committing battery on an elderly adult
• Punishing, torturing, or caging an elderly adult
• Failing to provide an elderly adult with the care, supervision, and services they need

As you can see, there are many different things that can qualify as elder abuse. These Florida laws are in place to protect the mental, physical, and emotional state of your elderly loved ones.

What Should You Do If Your Loved One Is a Victim of Elder Abuse?

Many elderly adults will not report abuse or neglect. Sometimes, this is because they are too embarrassed, ashamed, or scared of their abuser to speak out. But in other cases, they may be physically unable to voice their concerns. Because of this, elder abuse is very underreported.

Don’t rely on your elderly loved one to tell you when they are being abused or neglected by a caregiver. Look for the signs of elderly abuse and neglect and if you spot them, take action as soon as possible to protect your loved one.

If you believe your loved one is being abused, it’s in your best interest to seek legal representation from elder abuse lawyer Amanda Demanda.

What Types of Compensation Can Elder Abuse Victims Recover?

Finding out that your loved one has been abused or neglected is absolutely devastating. If you are in this situation, you have the right to take legal action on behalf of your loved one. In Florida, victims of elder abuse can recover various types of compensation.

As a victim, your loved one is entitled to compensation for:

• Current and future medical expenses
• Mental and physical pain and suffering caused by the abuse or neglect
• Mental anguish
• Loss of enjoyment of life

It’s best to rely on a lawyer that has experience with elder abuse cases.
