Elder Abuse

California's Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act (EADACPA) gives families a stronger legal path than an ordinary negligence claim when a nursing home, assisted living facility, or caregiver has neglected or abused a vulnerable elder. Unlike standard personal injury cases, EADACPA claims can allow for recovery of attorney's fees and, in cases involving recklessness or malice, punitive damages — which matters, because it changes how seriously a facility's insurer has to take the case.

Common signs of elder abuse and neglect include bedsores, unexplained falls, malnutrition or dehydration, medication errors, and sudden changes in behavior or hygiene. If you suspect a loved one is being neglected or mistreated, documenting what you see and acting quickly matters — both for their safety and for the strength of a potential claim.

We handle these cases with the seriousness they deserve — investigating facility staffing records, prior citations, and care logs to build a case that holds negligent facilities accountable. No fee unless we win.
