St. Louis Nursing Home Abuse Attorney

Missouri Elder Abuse Lawyer

If your parent or loved one has been harmed, injured or abused while in an assisted living center or nursing home, you should contact a Missouri nursing home abuse attorney immediately. Elderly people deserve the exact same respect and rights as others, and when those rights are denied them, it is necessary to seek legal action. If you have already gone through the process of reporting abuse and you are unsatisfied with the results of your complaint, an experienced lawyer from our firm can help you take the next step.

If the life enjoyment of your mother, your father, your relative or your loved one has been diminished in any way due to neglect, carelessness, cruelty, lack of knowledge or any other circumstance, you and your family member or loved one have legal rights to receive compensation for the suffering imposed upon you. It is a sorrowful truth that elder abuse is altogether too common. Sometimes abuse goes unnoticed or unreported for long periods of time – in cases like these, it is vital to have the support and legal knowledge of a qualified St. Louis elder abuse attorney to guide you through the legal process and help ensure that you and your loved one are compensated for the damage caused.

Some of the type of elder abuse that can occur in assisted living or nursing homes include the following:

• Physical abuse
• Sexual abuse
• Verbal/emotional abuse
• Exploitation (involving money, property, labor, etc)
• Abandonment/Neglect (failure to feed, clothe, shelter and also failure to provide proper medical care or medication)
• Malnutrition
• Medical negligence

If you suspect abuse because you have noticed injuries (such as bruises, scrapes, contusions, etc), changes in personality, changes in appearance for the worse or simply a bad attitude toward your loved one by a caregiver, you need to contact an attorney immediately. A nursing home abuse lawyer from our firm will be able to help you with the extensive legal knowledge and familiarity with adult protective services that will help to build your case with the ultimate goal of complete compensation for all injuries, physical as well as mental, that were inflicted.
