Nursing Home Elder Abuse and Neglect
Approximately 1 in 10 Americans ages 60+ have experienced some form of elder abuse, which can include physical, emotional and sexual abuse as well as financial fraud, exploitation, neglect and abandonment. Elders who have been abused have a 300% higher risk of death when compared to those who have not been mistreated.
Additionally, while often unreported, elder financial abuse and fraud costs elderly Americans $36.5 billion per year. Cases involving elderly people in nursing homes include failure to provide necessary services, including nutrition, clean accommodations and amenities. Lack of medical services is another form of abuse, such as missed medication and dispensing the wrong medication.

Sex Abuse
Numerous states have passed or will be passing laws to extend the statute of limitations for sex abuse cases this year and ahead.
For example, New York State’s Child Victims Act provides a one-year window for sexual abuse victims of any age in New York to take legal action, including cases that had expired under the previous statute of limitations. Within hours of going into effect, hundreds of people filed sex abuse claims.
Growth in sexual abuse claims is expected in other states. Lawsuits have been filed on behalf of
survivors who were abused in religious institutions, scouting organizations, schools, hospitals, and by
individual perpetrators.
