The Bronx, the northernmost of New York’s five boroughs, boasts several of the most famous New York landmarks: Yankee Stadium, the New York Botanical Garden, the Bronx Zoo and the Bronx Museum of the Arts. This borough is one of the most diverse areas of the United States – it is home to people from an astonishing array of countries and cultures and all economic levels.
The Bronx is the 3rd most densely populated county in the United States. With all the activity and the people come opportunity and prosperity to many, but so does abuse of the most vulnerable in the community. Elder abuse is one of the most common forms of abuse. In the event you or a family member is injured as a result of elder abuse, the abuse victim deserves to be compensated for their injuries and expenses.
Elder abuse typically takes the form of physical abuse, emotional and verbal abuse, sexual abuse, financial exploitation and neglect. Elder abuse is particularly heinous because the abuser is usually someone the elderly person trusts or depends on, such as a family member, a family friend, a paid care worker or nursing home or hospital staff. If you or someone you love has sustained physical, emotional or financial injuries as a result of elder abuse, consult an experienced elder abuse attorney promptly – they can help you obtain compensation for your injury and losses.
