Introduction
Welcome to the page dedicated to addressing the critical issue of elder abuse. As a reputable law firm in the field of personal injury, John Hugh Shannon is committed to helping victims of elder abuse seek justice and receive the compensation they deserve.
What is Elder Abuse?
Elder abuse refers to the intentional or negligent act of causing harm to an older adult. Unfortunately, this heinous crime is prevalent and takes various forms. It can manifest as physical, emotional, sexual, or financial abuse, neglect, abandonment, or even self-neglect.
Physical Abuse
Physical abuse involves any intentional act causing physical pain or injury to an older adult. This can include hitting, pushing, slapping, or using restraints without proper justification. If you suspect physical abuse, it is crucial to seek immediate legal assistance to protect the victim's rights.
Emotional Abuse
Emotional abuse refers to the infliction of mental anguish, humiliation, or intimidation on an older adult. This form of abuse often involves verbal attacks, threats, isolation, or constant criticism. Our team at John Hugh Shannon understands the psychological impact of emotional abuse and is dedicated to securing justice for victims.
Sexual Abuse
Sexual abuse involves any unwanted sexual contact or activity perpetrated against an older adult. This form of abuse can cause significant emotional and physical trauma, leaving lasting scars. Our knowledgeable legal experts at John Hugh Shannon will provide compassionate support and protect your rights if you or a loved one has experienced sexual abuse.
Financial Abuse
Financial abuse occurs when someone dishonestly manipulates an older adult's finances, assets, or property for personal gain. This includes theft, fraud, coercion, or scams targeting vulnerable individuals. At John Hugh Shannon, we understand the complexity of financial abuse cases and strive to hold responsible parties accountable.
Neglect and Self-Neglect
Neglect involves the failure to fulfill caregiving obligations, resulting in harm to an older adult. Self-neglect, on the other hand, refers to an individual's own lack of self-care leading to harm. Recognizing the signs of neglect is crucial to protect the well-being of older adults, and our legal team is prepared to guide you throughout the legal process.
