The elderly are among the most vulnerable citizens in our society. When confined to care facilities, they are frequently at the mercy of their caregivers. When, as a result of overstaffing or inadequate training, the caregivers provide insufficient attention, the results can be tragic.

Many people discount the feelings and rights of the elderly because they associate aging with physiological and psychological disability, even though this attitude is typically unwarranted and unfair. It is both an honor and a challenge to represent the elderly in litigation that requires us to overcome a tendency on the part of others, including insurance adjusters and even physicians, to discount an elderly person's injuries and the diminished quality of life that results from them.
