Elder Abuse − Civil Actions
At the Morris Law Firm, we help families identify civil and potentially criminal elder abuse issues. Elder abuse can be by nursing or assisted-living facility staff and even other family members. While we do not handle criminal matters, we can help you reach local law enforcement.
Signs of elder abuse include:
- Bed sores
- Malnutrition or dehydration
- Weight-loss
- Bruising
- Frequent injuries
- Change in personality
- Depression
Conservatorships
When an elderly family member no longer has the ability to reasonably make decisions for themselves, family members can file for a conservatorship. Initially, a hearing will be filed and an investigation conducted by an attorney working for the court. This attorney will create a report and determine the threshold question of whether the individual requires a conservator.
Other questions to consider will include:
- Can the individual make decisions?
- Was there undue influence?
- Is the requesting conservator appropriate?
- Is the requesting conservator exerting undue influence?
