Families trust nursing homes and long-term care facilities to keep their loved ones safe, treated with dignity, and properly cared for. When that trust is broken through neglect, abuse, or preventable harm, the damage is physical, emotional, and financial all at once.
At Eason Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyers, we represent individuals and families across St. Louis dealing with serious harm caused by nursing home abuse and neglect. We investigate what happened, identify who’s responsible, and pursue accountability.
Not every case shows up as an obvious injury. Sometimes families notice a change in behavior, an unexplained health decline, or emotional withdrawal before they ever find a clear sign of mistreatment.
Early investigation can both reveal what happened and prevent further harm.
Abuse takes many forms, and any of them can cause serious, lasting harm to a resident. We handle cases involving:
Intentional harm or unnecessary force used against a resident.
Failure to provide proper supervision, nutrition, hygiene, or medical care.
Threats, intimidation, humiliation, and isolation.
Unauthorized use of a resident's money, property, or resources.
Improper treatment, medication mistakes, and failure to monitor residents.
Victims and families often face both financial loss and deep personal harm. We pursue full accountability for both.
Acting early matters. Missouri sets deadlines on injury and wrongful death claims, and acting early helps preserve crucial evidence. Contact us before responding to the facility’s insurer.
The harm can be physical, emotional, or both. Many of these injuries carry lasting medical and emotional consequences.
Relatives usually notice something is wrong before a facility admits it. Trust those instincts, and document what you see.
Unexpected injuries, weight loss, or declining health.
Withdrawal, anxiety, or unusual fear around certain caregivers.
Unsanitary or poor living conditions.
Unexpected withdrawals or missing funds.
