Nursing Home Neglect & Abuse Attorneys in Kansas City, Missouri

When you place family members in a nursing home, you are entitled to expect that they will be well cared for. If negligence and abuse occur at the facility, putting your loved one’s life in danger, you need to speak up and hold the facility and its employees accountable for their actions.

Experienced in Elder Abuse Lawsuits

At Dougherty & Holloway, LLC, our lawyers have brought many nursing home neglect lawsuits to successful conclusions for our clients. We have the deepest respect and compassion for what you and your family member are going through. By bringing a lawsuit against those responsible, we can help prevent these things from happening again, either to your loved one or to other patients in the nursing home.

Many nursing homes will brush off your concerns by saying, “well, that happens at this age,” or something similar. That does not mean your concern is not valid or that your family member is not suffering from neglect or abuse.
