Brooklyn Elder Abuse
Brooklyn is New York City’s most populous borough, and it is a borough of neighborhoods. Brooklyn contains some of New York’s most famous neighborhoods: Bedford-Stuyvesant, Flatbush, Bensonhurst, Brighton Beach and Park Slope are just a few. The iconic Coney Island is in Brooklyn, as well as some of New York’s premiere arts organizations. Brooklyn contains small businesses, support business for major Manhattan corporations, high-tech industry and a variety of manufacturing. The borough is connected to the rest of the city by eight bridges, three subway tunnels (18 subway lines) and one vehicular tunnel, making it a very convenient place to live and work.
In this highly-populated, hectic community there is a lot of opportunity and prosperity, but there is also opportunity for 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 attorney promptly – they can help you obtain compensation for your injury and losses.
