Manhattan NY Elder Abuse Injury Accident Lawyer

Elder Abuse Attorneys
Manhattan, New York

If you or a loved one in Manhattan has suffered abuse, neglect, or exploitation at the hands of a caregiver, nursing-home staff, or other trusted individual, Hill & Moin LLP is here to help. Our attorneys understand how deeply elder abuse can affect victims and families. We handle every aspect of your case — from investigation to representation — and you pay nothing unless we win.

What Is Elder Abuse

Elder abuse takes many forms. Common types include:

Physical abuse — hitting, slapping, unnecessary force
Emotional or verbal abuse — threats, intimidation, humiliation
Neglect — failure to provide adequate medical care, hygiene, food, or safe environment
Financial exploitation — theft, fraud, misuse of power of attorney or finances
Sexual abuse — any non-consensual sexual contact with an elder
Abandonment or neglect of basic needs by caregivers or institutions

Elder abuse can occur in private homes, assisted-living facilities, nursing homes, hospitals, or any setting where seniors receive care. Because victims often depend on their abusers for support, abuse may go unreported — which is why legal help is essential.

Why You Need a Dedicated Elder Abuse Lawyer in Manhattan

Elder abuse claims are often complex — they may involve multiple parties (caregivers, facility owners, staff), overlapping legal and regulatory issues, and vulnerable victims. At Hill & Moin LLP, we bring:

Thorough investigation — we gather medical records, facility reports, witness statements, and documentation of caregiver misconduct
Expert evaluation of damages — we consider medical costs, mental anguish, emotional trauma, loss of quality of life, financial losses, and more
Legal experience with elder-abuse and negligence law — we know how to hold caregivers, facilities, and responsible parties accountable under New York law
Compassion and sensitivity — we treat all clients and families with dignity, respect, and discretion
Contingency-fee representation — you pay nothing unless we secure compensation for you

Because elder abuse affects not only the victim — but entire families — having skilled legal representation can make a crucial difference in obtaining justice and protection.

What To Do If You Suspect Elder Abuse

If you believe a senior loved one has been mistreated or neglected, taking prompt action can greatly improve the chances of success. Consider doing the following:

Ensure the elder receives medical attention immediately, even if injuries seem minor.
Document visible injuries (bruises, cuts, bed sores) with photos.
Save all relevant medical records, bills, caregiving logs, and communication with caregivers or facility staff.
Write down a detailed account of what happened — dates, times, names of caregivers or witnesses, location, and any suspicious behavior.
Collect contact information for any witnesses or other family members who observed neglect or abuse.
Avoid confronting the abuser directly — contact an attorney first.
Refrain from signing any waivers or release forms without legal advice.

These steps help preserve evidence and protect the victim’s legal rights.

What Compensation and Relief You May Be Entitled To

Victims of elder abuse may be eligible to recover:

Past, current, and future medical expenses
Costs of rehabilitation, long-term care, home healthcare, or assisted living
Compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and trauma
Financial losses due to exploitation or theft
Cost of replacing misused assets or stolen funds
Other damages such as loss of quality of life, diminished independence, or permanent impairment

Our goal is to ensure all losses — physical, emotional, and financial — are accounted for and pursued thoroughly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What counts as elder abuse?
Elder abuse includes physical harm, emotional or verbal abuse, neglect of basic needs, financial exploitation, abandonment, and other forms of mistreatment or neglect under a caretaker’s responsibility.

Do I need a lawyer if I just suspect abuse?
Yes. Even suspicions should be evaluated carefully. A lawyer can help investigate, preserve evidence, and determine if legal action is warranted.

How much does it cost to hire your firm?
You pay nothing upfront. Our fees are contingent on winning compensation for you.

What if the abuser is a family member, not a professional caregiver?
You can still take legal action. The same laws apply whether the abuser is a family member, staff member, or paid caregiver. Our firm handles all kinds of elder abuse cases.

Can we recover financial losses if money or assets were stolen?
Yes. Financial exploitation is a form of elder abuse. We pursue full recovery of lost assets, stolen funds, and other related damages.
