Stockton Elder Abuse Lawyer
Elderly individuals are often placed in a very vulnerable position. They are often forced to rely upon family members, caretakers or nursing home staff to manage their physical and financial matters. This close position of trust often leads the elderly to be taken advantage of or abused. The Law Office of K. Robert Foster has a wealth of experience representing clients in elder abuse matters involving physical abuse, financial abuse and nursing home negligence. Contact elder abuse attorney Robert Foster to schedule an initial consultation to discuss your legal matter.
Financial Elder Abuse
As people age, there often comes a time when managing one's own financial affairs becomes impossible. This becomes especially true for individuals suffering from dementia, Alzheimer's disease or other medical illness impacting mental capacity. Close friends or family members may be entrusted with the responsibility of managing daily bills, bank accounts and other financial affairs.
As an experienced elder abuse attorney, Robert Foster has the skill to represent clients in pursuing or defending claims of financial elder abuse. These cases often involve real estate property, valuable heirlooms and other assets which are transferred to the close family member or caretaker. Financial abuse also may involve theft resulting from access to bank accounts. Questions arise involving duress, coercion or abuse of a fiduciary relationship.
Physical Elder Abuse and Nursing Home Neglect
In addition to financial abuse, Robert Foster is experienced advocating for victims of nursing home abuse or neglect. Lack of nursing home staff, inadequate training and overcrowding of nursing homes often results in improper care to residents. Nursing home residents may suffer from
- Malnutrition or dehydration
- Life threatening infection (from untreated bed sores or insufficient wound management)
- Dangerous falls (from lack of supervision)
- Medication errors (such as over medication or wrong medications)
- Physical or sexual abuse
