Elder Abuse

Abuse against the elderly is distinct from the traditional tort principles underlying civil abuse cases largely because practically every state has passed legislation to make elder abuse a distinct category of abuse, often with more stringent penalties than other types of abuse. This area of law is not limited to physical abuse or neglect of the elderly; it can include fraud, deceptive business practices, and exploitation that targets the elderly.

There is a great deal of legislation aimed at the issues of elder abuse. For example, some states have statutes that mandate double damages for some elder abuse civil cases.
