Elder Abuse

Albuquerque Lawyer: Elder Abuse

Will Ferguson: A fighter for New Mexicans.

Senior citizens are among the most vulnerable members of our society, particularly those who rely on others to provide care and handle their financial affairs. At Will Ferguson & Associates in Albuquerque, our attorneys represent elderly victims of physical, emotional, sexual and financial abuse.

Do you suspect elder abuse?

Often, elder abuse is identified and measures are taken to protect the victim only when an alert relative, friend or nursing home staff member calls attention to the situation. The abuser might be a family caretaker, a nursing home aide or staff member, an unethical accountant or business, or a fellow resident in a long-term care facility. Contact us if you suspect someone you care about is the victim of exploitation or abuse. Our lawyers are prepared to handle a wide range of cases involving elder abuse and nursing home neglect, including those involving the following circumstances:

• Sexual assault, rape
• Violent physical assault (you should demand explanations for bruises, fractures or lesions)
• Emotional abuse, humiliation, intimidation
• Financial exploitation by a caretaker, family member or "friend," including coercion to revise a will, sign over title to property or make questionable investments
• Oversedation or improper use of restraints

Our attorney will take measures to stop the abuse

It does not cost anything to discuss your concerns with an experienced personal injury lawyer.
