Elder Abuse Litigation
Financial Abuse
Neglect and Physical Abuse
Vicarious Liability for Elder Abuse
This program covers three of the "hottest" topics in Elder Abuse Litigation: financial abuse, neglect and physical abuse, and vicarious liability for elder abuse. For personal injury litigators, business litigators and probate litigators, this program will change your thinking and your conceptual approach as an advocate. The focus includes the role of the Elder Abuse Act in heirship and related actions (Prob.C. §§250, 258, 259), the role of financial abuse in business transactions involving the elderly, and the application of vicarious liability concepts against noncustodial caregivers. The program also focuses on new law allowing enrollees to seek damages against Medicare-financed HMOs and participating managed care enterprises, including medical groups and institutional care providers, under the Elder Abuse Act.
Our panel of experts will explore the critical issues and offer practical solutions. This is a "don't miss" program for lawyers experienced in this field, as well as for those who may be considering these issues for the first time.
