Elder Abuse

Arizona Elder Abuse Attorney

Under Arizona law, elder abuse occurs when a person age 60 or older is subject to:

Physical abuse - the willful infliction of physical pain or injury or unreasonable confinement (includes sexual contact or exposure without consent or when the elder is incapable of giving consent);

Material abuse - the misuse of property or financial resources;

Neglect - a caregiver's failure to provide food, shelter, clothing, medical, or dental care resulting in significant danger to the physical or mental health of the elder person;

Self-neglect - significant danger to an elder person's physical or mental health because the elder person is unable or fails to provide food, shelter, clothing, medical or dental care.

Our Phoenix personal injury lawyer firm has reviewed and processed numerous elder abuse claims. Our objective is to help elders, their families, and friends resolve problems and recover monies and property lost to commercial exploitation and misconduct of fiduciaries, caretakers, family members and others. We work closely with our client and his/her advisors, including elder law and other attorneys, financial advisors, healthcare professionals, clergy and others to achieve the client's goals. If we agree to represent you, we handle most elder abuse cases on a contingency fee basis .
