Personal Injury / Elder Abuse

California Law Firm Protecting Victim's Rights

There are certain situations in life that may seem exceedingly unfair or unjust. Being seriously injured in an accident or losing a loved one due to the careless actions of another rarely seems justifiable. Discovering that a senior citizen has been a victim of intentional neglect or abuse is often incomprehensible.

At the San Francisco Area, Law Offices of Paul J. Smoot, personal injury and elder law attorney Paul Smoot, understands how you are feeling and will help you seek remuneration. Contact the firm to discuss your needs.

Personal Injury

A personal injury is harm resulting from the negligence of another party. Injuries run the gamut from newborn babies with Kernicterus, to adults suffering a traumatic brain injury (TBI) resulting from a car accident. If you have suffered a personal injury, lost a loved one in a case of wrongful death, or have been victimized, you have the right to pursue a claim against those who are at fault.

Backed by years of courtroom experience, Mr. Smoot powerfully protects your best interests and strives to achieve the best possible recovery for injuries stemming from a wide variety of situations including:

Car and truck accidents Bicycle accidents Pedestrian accidents Public transportation accidents

Premises liability Bad faith insurance Medical malpractice Birth injuries (such as Kernicterus)

Elder Abuse

Discovering your elderly loved one has been abused, physically, mentally or emotionally is devastating news. You first step is to ensure their protection. Secondly, to ensure this situation is not recurring, you can take legal action against the guilty party. Attorney Smoot can help you to seek justice for what has taken place by placing a suit against residential, nursing home or long-term care facilities.

Financial Elder Abuse

Sadly, many senior citizens can easily fall victim to financial fraud. People they trust may approach them regarding matters related to:

Credit card scams Life insurance Housing

Identity theft Real estate transfers Bank accounts

If you suspect your loved one may have been financially abused, Mr. Smoot can help you to seek evidence and prevent further negative actions from taking place.
