Elder Abuse Litigation

Elder Abuse Litigation

Elder abuse litigation is the legal process of seeking justice through the court system for elderly individuals who have been abused, whether that is through restraining orders or a judgment for monetary damages. Elder abuse can take many forms, including physical abuse, emotional abuse, financial abuse, and neglect.

You may be wondering:

  • What kinds of conduct qualifies as elder abuse under Oregon law?
  • How can an elderly victim recover assets that were taken from them through fraud or other wrongful conduct?

  • If my elderly parents were victims of abuse but no longer have capacity to take legal action themselves, can I pursue their case for them?
  • Are other vulnerable people protected by Oregon elder abuse laws, too?

  • What can I do to protect myself or a loved one from further abuse?

  • What if there is already a restraining order in place and the abuser has violated it?
