Elder Abuse & Neglect

Elder abuse and neglect can take on many forms. It can range from a resident right violation such as the failure to knock on a resident’s door before opening it or the failure to respond to a call button in a timely manner to the failure to supervise a resident, which results in falls, the failure to provide proper nutrition and hydration, the failure to manage medications and the failure to obtain emergency medical attention for a resident in need.

Regardless of the type of abuse or neglect, residents have the right under state and federal law to file civil claims to recover for the harms they have experienced.

Susan did an amazing job representing our family in a complex and emotionally challenging legal matter. Susan was in it for the long haul, becoming both a trusted advisor and a voice of compassion throughout the process. Susan and her team always brought professionalism, empathy, dedication and skill to our case. She achieved a very positive outcome for us, and we couldn't have been happier with her representation. I would absolutely recommend her and SKG Law.
