Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect

Kansas City Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Attorney

Nursing home residents and their family members pay a premium to nursing homes for professional, around-the-clock care. Yet, all too often, the safety of frail, elderly nursing home residents is neglected. When vulnerable nursing home residents are abused or neglected by the very people who are supposed to provide for their care, shouldn't someone be held responsible?

I am Attorney James H. Bell. I am passionate about fighting nursing home neglect and abuse by bringing personal injury claims against those who take advantage of vulnerable nursing home residents.

My grandmother cared for elderly people for years. None of those she cared for ever suffered the type of elder abuse and neglect that has become common in nursing homes today, including:

  • Bed sores (pressure sores)
  • Amputations due to pressure sores
  • Falls resulting in fractures
  • Sexual abuse
  • Failure to monitor
  • Failure to provide adequate food and water
  • Failure to clean catheters
  • Medication errors

Passionate about Protecting the Vulnerable

However frail and vulnerable, elderly people are important members of our society. They should be treated with dignity and respect in their final years. At the very least, they should never be allowed to suffer at the hands of their caregivers.

If someone you love suffered abuse or neglect in a nursing home, please contact my law firm today to discuss the prospect of nursing home litigation. The initial consultation is always free of charge. You will pay no attorney's fees unless I win financial compensation for you. Pursuing an injury claim against a nursing home is one way to prevent others from suffering the same type of abuse and neglect your loved one endured.

I not only represent victims and family members of those who suffer nursing home abuse and neglect, but I also lecture on nursing home litigation to attorneys throughout Kansas and Missouri.
