St. Louis Nursing Home Neglect Lawyers

Placing a loved one in a nursing home or assisted living facility is a difficult decision, but it may be the only option for people who are no longer able to care for themselves at home. We trust that nursing homes will care for our loved ones and protect them from harm. Yet, all too often, vulnerable and frail residents are victims of abuse or neglect at the hands of the very people we trust to care for them.

If your loved one has been injured through abuse or neglect in a nursing home or other care facility, please contact an attorney at Bollwerk & Ryan, LLC, in St. Louis, Missouri, today for a free consultation and case evaluation.

We represent people who have suffered all types of nursing home abuse and neglect, including the following examples:

  • Physical neglect: disregard for the necessities of daily living
  • Medical neglect: lack of care for existing medical problems
  • Bedsores (also called pressure sores or pressure ulcers)
  • Infections
  • Falls
  • Improper medication
  • Failure to monitor or supervise
  • Sexual abuse or assault
  • Assault and battery
  • Unexplained injuries
  • Slapping, pushing, shaking, beating

Nursing home residents can also be the victims of medical malpractice, when medical professionals do not follow accepted standards of care.

Nursing home residents are among the most vulnerable members of our society. They need strong voices advocating in their best interests. Our attorneys stand up and fight for the rights of nursing home patients who have been abused or neglected. While no amount of financial compensation can make up for the injuries suffered by residents, a fair verdict or settlement can encourage those who care for the elderly to follow the mandated standards of care so that other people won't suffer the same fate as your loved one.

If you are concerned about a case of potential nursing home abuse or neglect, please do not hesitate to contact our law firm for a free initial consultation and case evaluation. You will pay no attorneys' fees unless we win compensation in your case.
