What are your rights after financial elder abuse in Huntington Beach?

Financial elder abuse can take many forms, including theft of money or property, coercion or convincing a senior to give up assets, abusing the authority granted under power of attorney, or benefitting financially from promising to take care of a senior while actually neglecting them.

Any type of financial elder abuse can lead to legal action on the part of the victim or their loved ones. You have the right to:

Pursue a claim against those responsible, which could include the caregiver who participated in the abuse and other defendants, including the nursing home or home healthcare agency that employed the caregiver. Nursing homes and other organizations can be vicariously liable for the on-the-job actions of employees. Financial advisors, trustees, joint bank account holders, and others who perpetrated abuse can also be held accountable.
Recover the lost funds or assets. When money, property, or other items of value were taken or lost due to financial abuse, you have the right to compensation for the losses.
Recover damages for other losses. In some cases, the abuse causes harm beyond just the financial loss. A victim of financial abuse may experience physical and emotional damage due to the stress of the incident. You may be entitled to compensation for those losses if you can prove they were related to the abuse.

Albertson & Davidson, LLP will help you to fight to protect these rights.
