Cuando una familia descubre que un ser querido mayor que vive en un hogar de ancianos de Delray Beach u otro lugar del condado ha sido maltratado, es hora de tomar medidas rápidas. El primer paso es alejar a la persona maltratada del hogar.
El segundo paso es ponerse en contacto con un abogado de abuso en hogares de Delray Beach de Kogan & DiSalvo para una consulta sin compromiso para evaluar las opciones legales de la familia. Un abogado compasivo de lesiones trabajará arduamente para lograr la compensación necesaria y hacer responsables a quienes sean responsables de sus acciones.
Tipos de Abuso y Negligencia en Hogares de Ancianos
El abuso va desde el manejo brusco, hasta la violencia y el aprovechamiento financiero.
- Actos abusivos incluyen bofetadas, empujones, ataduras ajustadas y hacer que un residente de un hogar de ancianos caiga
- Evidencia de comportamiento abusivo incluye negligencia de la higiene personal, anteojos recetados rotos, dentaduras dañadas, esguinces, úlceras por decúbito, desnutrición, lesiones internas y huesos rotos
- Los cuidadores también infligen abuso psicológico y emocional al culpar, usar el ridículo, intimidar, humillar y mantener al residente en aislamiento
- La salud de la persona mayor abusada puede verse afectada al aumentar la presión arterial, provocar ataques de pánico, dolor en el pecho, dificultad para respirar y otras condiciones
Ley de Abuso de Personas Mayores en Delray Beach
El abuso de personas mayores es un acto criminal y las autoridades deben ser notificadas para que los infractores puedan ser castigados con la pérdida de la libertad. Los cuidadores y otros que presencian abuso pero no lo denuncian también cometen un delito. Si un cuidador denuncia el abuso, se otorga inmunidad de enjuiciamiento.
El abuso también es recuperable en un tribunal civil con la intención de recuperar económicamente, y si el abuso es flagrante, se justifica una compensación económica adicional para castigar.
Negligencia en Reclamos por Abuso de Personas Mayores
En una acción civil, la ley de lesiones personales se invoca utilizando el estándar de negligencia comparativa de Florida, que reparte la pérdida financiera entre quienes son negligentes. La negligencia es no actuar con el cuidado que una persona razonable demostraría en una situación similar. Corresponde al anciano y a la familia demostrar que el hogar de ancianos actuó con negligencia al permitir el abuso.
La negligencia tiene elementos que deben demostrarse:
- Deber de cuidado: Una persona o una empresa tiene la obligación legal de actuar de manera que no cause lesiones, daño o daños a la propiedad de otra
- Incumplimiento: Un acto, o una omisión, viola el deber de cuidado
- Causalidad en hechos: De no ser por el incumplimiento, el abuso no habría ocurrido
- Causa próxima: Se produjo un resultado particular y previsible
- Daños: Se produjo una pérdida financiera
Negligencia en Hogares de Ancianos
Los actos negligentes cometidos por el personal del hogar de ancianos, gerentes y propietarios incluyen:
- No tratar los síntomas o señales de alerta de una persona mayor
- No buscar atención médica de emergencia
- No seguir las indicaciones de médicos y farmacéuticos
- Servir alimentos contaminados o caducados
- Errores en la administración de medicamentos
- No abordar condiciones peligrosas en la propiedad
- Entrenamiento de cuidadores inadecuado o inexistente
- Brechas de seguridad
Cómo un Abogado de Abuso de Delray Beach Puede Ayudar
Un abogado de abuso en hogares de Delray Beach realizará una investigación exhaustiva de la conducta abusiva y una investigación de antecedentes del hogar de ancianos para determinar si previamente se ha permitido un patrón de conducta abusiva o violaciones de las leyes y regulaciones aplicables de Florida.
El abogado interrogará, bajo pena de perjurio, al personal del hogar de ancianos, a los gerentes y a los propietarios para reunir pruebas de cualquier violación de los derechos civiles del anciano, lo cual, si se demuestra, es otra causa de acción legal, esta vez a nivel federal.
El abogado calculará los gastos médicos, así como el dolor y el sufrimiento, el trauma emocional y otros daños aplicables y demandará por daños.

Aimee Morel
I must say that their service is very professional, especially Aesha. She always follows up on your case and provides updates; she does an excellent job and is very friendly. Even after my case was closed, I asked for an extra service, and she and the whole team took care of everything, leaving me very satisfied. I recommend them 100/100 and would definitely go back to them.

Highly Recommend Wolfson & Leon!
After my car accident, I was overwhelmed and unsure where to turn. From the very first call, the team at Wolfson & Leon treated me with compassion and professionalism. They took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt supported the entire way through.
My attorney kept me informed about my case, negotiated firmly with the insurance company, and ultimately helped me get a settlement that was fair and just.
If you’ve been in an accident and need a law firm that genuinely fights for you, they are the firm for you!

Never ever hired such a great team they have become a family to me. I have had access to call them any day time or night. I was involved in a serious wreck I was rear ended by a semi driver and they tried every which way to offer me Pennie’s I had a neck operation and I can’t believe how much support I had through the whole process. I thought it would be hard with them being located in Fort Lauderdale and me in fort Myers Florida but they docusigned everything thru text and email. It was so simple and overall I went to litigation almost trial and at mitigation they gave me a voice. I seriously stop when I see car accidents because I want everyone to be apart of the same family I am. Thank you Madalon Law!! Joe you’re amazing!! And a great friend!
