Victims and their families understandably want to recover maximum financial compensation following instances of elder abuse. No amount of money can completely make up for the pain and suffering of the victim, but it is still important to hold negligent and reckless parties responsible.
Some of the most common financial damages available to claimants in elder abuse cases include compensation for:
Past and future medical costs
Pain and suffering
Emotional and psychological anguish
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Loss of earning capacity or missed income, if applicable
If the victim sustained fatal injuries, their estate holders can pursue a wrongful death claim for damages. Speak with the lawyers at Morgan & Morgan to explore your legal options.
