Nursing Home Injury

Kansas City Nursing Home Injury Lawyer

We trust nursing homes and caregivers with the lives of our loved ones. The duty to provide adequate care to patients is often overlooked, however, and abuse and neglect of patients in nursing homes is a growing problem.

At Vance C. Preman, P.C., our Jackson County serious personal injury lawyers have the medical background to understand, and more than 28 years of experience to help. Contact a Missouri elder abuse and neglect attorney if your family member has suffered a nursing home injury of the following nature:

• Verbal / physical abuse
• Neglect
• Pressure / bed sores (decubitus ulcer)
• Malnutrition / dehydration
• Improper medication
• Infections that do not heal
• Falls and broken bones

When a health care facility like a nursing home is understaffed or workers are improperly trained, physical or sexual assault may occur on a regular basis. Negligent facilities may allow abuse among patients or between health care workers and defenseless, elderly victims.

Substandard nursing home care is tragic, and results range from dry skin and chapped lips to excessive bruising or the inability to eat. When reasonable standards of care are unmet through abuse or neglect, the elderly suffer. Patients who are not monitored can fall a break a hip or suffer other injuries. Patients are sometimes dropped, or are not given their medication.
