Elder Abuse Attorney in Fremont
Elder Abuse in Fremont, CA is more common than one would believe and it can go unnoticed for a long time. Many seniors are unable to care for themselves and even when they are being cared for, they are unable to ask for help, even when they are being abused. Elder Abuse can physical, psychological, or financial, and alarmingly, the abuse typically occurs at the hands of the people who are most trusted by the victims – like their spouses, children, grandchildren, caregivers, nursing homes or financial or other advisors. NK Law Group handles elder abuse cases and ensures that the victims are removed from the bad situation and compensated for their loss. Contact an elder abuse attorney today.

WHO CAN YOU SUE FOR ELDER ABUSE?
If the elder does not die as a result of the misconduct, then the injured party can sue on his or her own behalf. If the injured party dies as a result of the misconduct, the right to maintain an action after death (the survival action) can be transferred to a personal representative of the decedent or to the decedent’s successor in interest. That is, the person who died can essentially maintain a legal action as though they were still alive. Contact a Fremont elder abuse lawyer at NK Law Group today for more information on your options.
