An elder abuse claim arises when an older person experiences neglect, mistreatment, or exploitation by caregivers, nursing home staff, or even family members. Abuse can take many forms, including physical harm, emotional distress, financial exploitation, or medical neglect.

If an elderly loved one has suffered due to another’s negligence or wrongdoing, our solicitors can help you seek justice.

Types of Elder Abuse

Elder abuse can occur in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, hospitals, or private residences. Common forms of abuse include:

✔ Physical abuse – Assault, unnecessary restraints, or rough handling resulting in injuries.
✔ Emotional abuse – Intimidation, threats, humiliation, or isolation.
✔ Financial exploitation – Fraud, coercion, or unauthorised use of an elderly person’s assets.
✔ Medical negligence – Improper medication, lack of care, or failure to treat health conditions.
✔ Neglect – Failure to provide food, hygiene, supervision, or necessary medical care.
✔ Sexual abuse – Any non-consensual sexual contact or harassment.

Signs of Elder Abuse

Families and caregivers should be aware of warning signs that may indicate elder abuse:

• Unexplained injuries, such as bruises, burns, or fractures.
• Sudden changes in behaviour, fearfulness, or withdrawal.
• Poor hygiene, malnutrition, or dehydration.
• Unpaid bills or missing financial assets.
• Bedsores or untreated medical conditions.
• Reluctance to speak in front of caregivers.

Who Can File an Elder Abuse Claim?

✔ Pursue a claim to hold responsible parties accountable and secure compensation.
