Elder Abuse
The Law Offices of Cohn, Smith & Cohn, P.A. is a Florida law firm that represents victims of elder abuse. While families often entrust nursing homes or other elder care facilities to attend to their parents or grandparents, sometimes nurses violate this trust by mistreating their patients.
Elder abuse consists of physical and mental abuse, exploitation, and neglect. Senior citizens most vulnerable to abuse are those that are frail, have diminished mental capacities, and those who must depend on other people to meet even their most basic needs.
We represent elderly people who have been physically hurt, denied food or medication, sexually abused, threatened or intimidated, or have been financially exploited. Warning signs of elder abuse include unexplained cuts or bruises, an unkempt or unhygienic physical appearance, weight loss, dramatic changes in spending habits, changes in behavior, and fear of being left alone. If you suspect that your elderly friend or loved one is being abused, we'd like to talk with you.
