Elder Abuse
Areas Of Practice/Elder Abuse
Elder abuse refers to the intentional harm or neglect towards individuals aged 60 and above. It’s a severe crime that can take various forms, including physical, emotional, sexual abuse, neglect, abandonment, and financial exploitation.
Elder Abuse in the First Degree
Elder abuse in the first degree involves the intentional infliction of physical injury or mental anguish on an elderly person. The perpetrator’s actions are premeditated and result in serious harm or even death to the elderly individual.


Elder Abuse in the Second Degree
Second-degree elder abuse refers to the reckless infliction of physical injury or mental anguish on an elderly person. While the perpetrator’s actions may not be premeditated, they display a reckless disregard for the safety and well-being of the elderly person.
Elder Abuse in the Third Degree
Third-degree elder abuse involves the negligent infliction of physical injury or mental anguish on an elderly person. In this case, the perpetrator’s actions result from a lack of due care or attention to the elderly person’s needs.


Financial Exploitation of an Elderly Person in the First Degree
Financial exploitation of an elderly person in the first degree involves the illegal or improper use of an elderly person’s funds, property, or assets with the intention to deprive the elderly person of their resources. The value involved is typically significant, often exceeding a set amount determined by law.
Financial Exploitation of an Elderly Person in the Second Degree
Second-degree financial exploitation of an elderly person involves the illegal or improper use of an elderly person’s resources, but the value involved is lesser than that of first-degree exploitation. Nonetheless, it still results in substantial loss or risk for the elderly person.


Financial Exploitation of an Elderly Person in the Third Degree
Third-degree financial exploitation of an elderly person covers situations where the value involved is the smallest among the three degrees. However, it still involves the inappropriate or illegal use of the elderly person’s resources, causing them loss or risk.
