Real people, real verdicts.

No other elder abuse attorney currently practicing in the United States has more than one eight-figure elder abuse verdict. Ed Dudensing has three.

#1 Largest Elder Abuse Verdict in the Sacramento/Greater Bay Area
#2 Second Largest Elder Abuse Verdict in the Sacramento/Greater Bay Area
#3 Third Largest Elder Abuse Verdict in the Sacramento/Greater Bay Area
Largest verdict against an assisted-living facility in the United States
Largest verdict against a skilled nursing home/nursing home/rehab facility in the Sacramento/Greater Bay Area

The greatest fear of elder care defendants and their insurance companies is to suffer a large, public jury verdict. This is why verdicts matter.

Most elder abuse cases never go to trial, but even so, your lawyer’s history of verdicts is still important.

Verdicts establish your lawyer’s reputation and demonstrate your team’s ability to win, which translates into your ability to get justice for the person you love.

Defendants and their insurance companies are sophisticated and they know “who is who” amongst elder abuse attorneys.

With Dudensing Law on your case, opposing counsel and insurance companies will know you are capable of winning in court, which means everything when it comes to securing the best possible out of court settlements as well.

What Is Elder Abuse?

The signs of elder neglect and abuse are not always obvious. They include, but are not limited to:

  • Physical abuse and other physical contact that can cause injury
  • Neglect, such as a failure to provide proper medical care, nutrition, or assistance with essential daily tasks
  • Emotional or psychological abuse, including humiliation, threats, and verbal assaults
  • Sexual abuse

Assisted Living Abuse & Rehab Facility Abuse: A Growing Concern in California

Assisted living facilities are designed to provide a safe and supportive living environment for those who need help with daily tasks but still maintain a level of independence. However, the unfortunate reality is that elder abuse and neglect are widespread in these facilities, with tens of thousands of residents falling victim to mistreatment.

So-called “Rehab” facilities – which often market themselves as short-term solutions for recovery from injury or illness – are subject to the same laws and regulations as nursing homes. However, many of these facilities prioritize profit over proper care, exposing vulnerable patients to abuse and neglect.
