Physical Elder Abuse: One of the Easiest Form of Abuse To Recognize

Written by Adam Peck Category: Elder Law January 26th, 2013 1 min read

One of the easiest forms of abuse to recognize is of the physical nature. Bruising, sores, broken bones, scratches, abrasion and tenderness should all warrant further investigation. Particular, be on the look out for recurring injuries without any legitimate explanation. Often times, a caretaker will place the blame on the elderly person but if you notice that these injuries are occurring and your loved one doesn’t have a history of clumsiness or unsteadiness, you should be concerned. IT is common for elderly individuals to fall down and they bruise much more easily than most of us, but you should still be suspicious of anything that seems like foul play. If that’s the case, we recommend that you contact California Elder Abuse Attorney Steven C. Peck toll free at 1.866.999.9085.
