Manhattan, the most famous of New York City’s five boroughs, is one of the major financial, commercial, cultural and artistic capitals of the world. Manhattan’s landmarks and streets are famous around the world – Central Park, 5th Avenue, the United Nations and the Empire State Building, to name just a few. Located between the Hudson River and the East River, Manhattan is one of the wealthiest areas in the United States, and it is the most densely populated.
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 attorney promptly – they can help you obtain compensation for your injury and losses.
