Nursing Home Abuse - Financial ExploitationThe financial exploitation of elderly Americans - particularly seniors who have dementia or Alzheimer's disease - is not only morally reprehensible - it's also a crime that can result in significant penalties, including major fines and jail time. The Chicago elder care attorneys of Steven J. Malman & Associates, PC, have dealt with numerous cases of elderly financial exploitation, and we have a deep knowledge of the law and resources claimants need to seek justice effectively. In what ways can elderly patients suffer financial exploitation? Here are some classic examples:
Of course, caregivers or others close to the senior aren't the only people capable of committing exploitative acts. Common thieves and criminals also take advantage of the elderly by conning seniors with Ponzi schemes, bogus investment opportunities, real estate scams, and the like. While all of these scenarios can be heart breaking, it's particularly egregious when nursing home staffers or other caregivers take advantage of the compromised position of a senior. Legal actions can be taken against nursing home staff who steal jewelry or cash; who steal/sell personal information; and who break into accounts. It may be possible to recover significant damages. To respond effectively, you likely need the help of a knowledgeable, dedicated, and experienced Illinois elder care attorney. We at Steven J.
