Dedicated Advocacy. Meaningful Results.
Sadly, the most vulnerable members of society are the ones most likely to experience abuse and neglect. Seniors, children, and people with disabilities can be mistreated by those who are supposed to protect them, including family members in many cases.
When mistreatment occurs, victims of abuse and neglect must know that someone is in their corner. Here at Roybal-Mack & Cordova, PC, our family law team helps victims of abuse pursue civil remedies for their mistreatment, which can be the first step towards restoring order to their lives.
Abusers often use different tactics to inflict distress on their victims. This includes:
Abuse can also occur in other ways. Exposing a child to drug use or production is also prohibited, as is providing a child with alcohol or illicit substances. In some cases, mothers who ingest drugs while pregnant can be cited for abuse.
Along with protecting children against harm and wrongdoing, parents and guardians must also ensure that their material needs are met. Failing to meet these needs, whether they entail food, shelter, clothing, or medical care, falls under the category of neglect. People taking care of dependents, such as seniors or disabled people, must also take care of their loved one’s basic needs or they will face legal repercussions.
While the above actions are criminal offenses, victims can also seek remuneration in civil court. It’s true that compensation can’t change what happened, but it does allow abuse victims to receive some sense of justice about what occurred.
