High Ridge Township, Missouri –
High Ridge, MO — Missouri Injury Law Firm, a respected name in personal injury litigation, has announced the expansion of its legal services for nursing home neglect and abuse cases to additional communities across Missouri. The firm, known for its experienced and compassionate approach to injury law, is now providing legal representation to victims and families in areas such as Fenton, Arnold, Columbia, Affton, Eureka, and Jefferson County, in addition to its established base in High Ridge and greater St. Louis.
This expansion comes amid growing concern over the quality of care in eldercare facilities across the state. Reports of understaffing, inadequate supervision, and systemic neglect have become increasingly common, prompting family members to seek legal support when loved ones suffer physical, emotional, or financial harm in nursing homes. Missouri Injury Law Firm’s decision to increase its regional presence responds to an urgent need for accessible, skilled legal counsel in addressing elder abuse and neglect.
Missouri Injury Law Firm, led by seasoned trial attorney Gene Hou, has a longstanding commitment to protecting the rights of vulnerable individuals, including elderly residents in care facilities. The firm’s legal team brings years of experience in personal injury litigation, combining legal knowledge with a deep understanding of the complexities surrounding eldercare cases. By extending its services to more communities throughout Missouri, the firm aims to ensure that families statewide have a reliable legal resource when faced with suspected abuse or substandard care.
“Too many families remain unaware of the legal protections available to them when a loved one is harmed in a nursing home,” said Gene Hou, principal attorney at Missouri Injury Law Firm. “This expansion allows us to reach more people who need answers, support, and accountability. Every elderly resident deserves dignity, respect, and competent care. When those expectations are not met, legal action becomes necessary—not only to obtain justice, but to prevent further harm to others.”
Nursing home neglect can manifest in various forms, including poor hygiene, untreated medical issues, dehydration, malnutrition, bedsores, falls, emotional withdrawal, and physical injuries. In many cases, these symptoms result from prolonged understaffing, improper training, or failure to follow safety protocols. Families often struggle to recognize the signs or to understand their legal options. With the firm’s expanded geographic reach, Missouri Injury Law Firm intends to make it easier for concerned relatives to access trustworthy legal guidance and take appropriate action.
Missouri’s population of older adults continues to grow, increasing demand for quality long-term care. According to recent data from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, over 1,100 licensed long-term care facilities operate across the state, serving tens of thousands of elderly residents. While many provide adequate care, others fall short of the standards required under state and federal regulations. When violations occur, legal advocacy plays a crucial role in protecting residents and prompting systemic change.
Gene Hou and his legal team take a client-centered approach to each case, focusing on clear communication, thorough investigation, and meticulous legal preparation. Their goal is not only to hold negligent parties accountable, but also to secure compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and relocation costs when necessary. The firm’s attorneys work closely with families and medical experts to gather evidence, review care records, and build compelling cases designed to achieve meaningful outcomes.
The firm’s expansion also aligns with broader efforts in Missouri to raise awareness about elder abuse and improve enforcement in long-term care settings. As legal partners in that mission, Missouri Injury Law Firm positions itself as an advocate for families navigating difficult circumstances and uncertain futures. By offering consultations at no cost and operating on a contingency fee basis, the firm ensures that legal support remains accessible regardless of a client’s financial situation.
With additional offices and client meetings now available in newly served communities, the firm encourages families to reach out if they suspect a loved one has suffered neglect or abuse in a nursing facility. Early legal intervention can help preserve evidence, protect residents from further harm, and initiate corrective measures. Time is often a critical factor in these cases, especially when physical injuries or cognitive decline may worsen without proper care.
Missouri Injury Law Firm’s growing footprint underscores its dedication to advocacy, justice, and community service. The firm believes that expanding its nursing home neglect and abuse representation across Missouri is not only a strategic move—it is a moral obligation to support those who cannot advocate for themselves.
