Elder Abuse

Baltimore elder abuse lawyer Joseph H. Ostad advocates for the elderly, who are often frail, dependent, and unable to speak up on their own behalf. The elderly represent a segment of American society particularly susceptible to abuse. Such abuse manifests in several forms:

• physical abuse, pain or injury,
• sexual abuse, such as non-consensual sexual contact,
• emotional or psychological mental anguish, including humiliation, intimidation, or threats,
• financial or material exploitation, and
• neglect , abandonment, and denial of food or health-related services.

Unfortunately, family members and health care workers sometime victimize the elderly who were entrusted to their care. With the proper legal guidance, a concerned fried or relative can stop elder abuse.
