According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), elder abuse is the abuse and neglect of a person age 60+ by a caregiver or other trusted personnel. Missouri law recognizes three types of mistreatment of the elderly:
Nursing homes and other long-term care facilities are required to provide a certain level of care to residents. If this standard of care is not provided, and a resident is harmed, you could have grounds for a nursing home abuse lawsuit.
Warning signs of nursing home abuse and neglect can include the following:
The effects of nursing home abuse can vary from case to case. However, if you or another family member notices any of these signs in your loved one, you may be able to file a nursing home abuse lawsuit against the negligent facility.
Nursing homes and senior living facilities are responsible for ensuring the well-being of residents entrusted in their care, but unfortunately, this doesn’t always happen. Some elderly care facilities are negligent and don’t maintain premises, vet the employees they hire, or don’t follow proper protocol for dispensing medication or daily care to residents.
Nursing home abuse lawsuits often involve negligent caregivers. Under Vicarious Liability, nursing homes and other long-term care facilities are liable for an employee’s negligent actions, and can be sued for nursing home abuse.

In most states, nursing home abuse lawsuits are valid if the victim or their family members can provide proof of injury (physical, financial, or emotionally), evidence of the nursing home’s negligence (witness reports, photos, video), and proof that the facility didn’t provide a certain level of care, resulting in the resident’s harm and losses.

Client Reviews
This law firm is absolutely amazing. They took on my case, when nobody else would! They fought hard for me when it seemed there was no hope. They kept me informed and always asked for my input before making decisions on my case. Gary puts himself into every case unlike most law firm owners. Gary and his team really care about every one of their clients, and fights hard to get you a fair settlement. They actually won my case out of court, and then reduced my fees to make sure I could get my car fixed and be able to get back to some normality. I would recommend Burger Law over and above any other firm! If you go somewhere else you aren’t getting the best!
