If you, your parent, family member or friend has been injured in a nursing home due to abuse, neglect or even an
intentional act of a nursing home employee, call us and we can help. We are experienced nursing home abuse lawyers and
we have helped many older folks navigate the challenging area of nursing home abuse claims in both protecting their
rights and personal integrity; and getting a good resolution or verdict in their case. One of the challenges to claims
against a nursing home is that their case is treated like a medical malpractice case in both Missouri and Illinois.
Therefore, to succeed in a nursing home negligence case, the Plaintiff must comply with all of the medical malpractice
statutes. This means a two-year Statute of Limitations on a claim, limits on where you can file the suit, limits on the
damages you can collect and other hoops to jump through. But really, a nursing home abuse case is quite simple: was the
nursing home, acting through its employees, negligent? If the answer is yes, you have a claim.

At Burger Law, we realize that resolving these claims quickly for our elderly clients is sometimes more important than
dragging a case out until we go to trial. We are cognizant of this fact and try to get the most efficient resolution of
these claims as possible. But if warranted, we try these cases before juries. Click the following links for further
