Elder Law

Nursing home abuse and neglect (Elder Law) is yet another subcategory of personal injury law practiced by the law firm of Charles D. Riley, Attorney at Law. If you or someone you care for has been a victim of nursing home abuse or neglect, we can help. Most often, nursing home abuse occurs when patients do not receive the appropriate level of care to which they are entitled. Some examples are the development of bedsores, also known as decubitis.

Another form of neglect results from a failure to monitor nursing home residents who are confused, or physically unstable. Unfortunately, this lack of appropriate supervision often results in falls or other accidents. Don’t let this abuse continue. Contact the appropriate authorities to put a stop to any abuse or neglect of an elderly person, and then contact the law firm of Charles D. Riley for assistance with your personal injury case.

Dog Bites

Personal injury can also occur in relation to dog bites. Dog bite injuries can range from minor to fatal, and they are always serious. In many cases there is scarring as a result of the dog bite, as well as emotional trauma. The owner of the dog is legally responsible for injuries inflicted by the animal. If the injury occurred on the owner’s property, it is not uncommon for a claim to be filed against homeowner’s insurance. Contact us for further information and assistance.

Legal & Accounting Malpractice

There is a system of ethics for lawyers, accountants, and other professionals, and disciplinary actions can be invoked if professionals deviate from accepted practices. This serves to protect clients from personal harm and to prevent unethical conduct by professionals, such as theft of client property, or other practices that do not serve the client’s best interest.

The American Bar Association has a standing committee to support client protection:

The Standing Committee on Client Protection is charged with providing support to the client protection funds that are serving the public in every jurisdiction in the United States and Canada. In so doing, the committee works closely with the National Client Protection Organization (NCPO). The committee also examines practice issues concerning the protection of the public where a provider does not meet the traditional requirements for licensure in a jurisdiction, including the multijurisdictional practice of law.
