The borough of Queens is the largest of the five New York City boroughs in terms of area and the second-largest in population. In fact, if the five boroughs were separate cities, Queens would be the fourth-largest city in the United States. Over two million people from over 100 different countries call Queens “home.” Queens’ extremely diversified and vibrant economy ranges from international finance to Mom-and-Pop stores. JFK International Airport and LaGuardia Airport, two of New York’s three major airports, are both located in Queens, as is Flushing Meadows Park, home to the New York Mets and to the U.S. Open Tennis Tournament.
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.
