A judge has reportedly dismissed an indictment against a former nursing home employee in regard to an alleged abuse matter. According to reports, the judge made the dismissal as he claimed an investigator “made certain false and/or misleading statements to the grand jury in order to obtain the indictment in the case.” The woman was accused of failing to order lab tests, supervise nursing assistants, contact supervisors about a patient’s condition and more.

By contacting a nursing home abuse lawyer, you can pursue a case against the abuser and recover expenses for medical care and pain and suffering. A nursing home abuse attorney will always protect your rights while resolving this matter in a timely manner. If you or someone you know has suffered from nursing home abuse then you should contact a nursing home abuse lawyer to begin discussing the details of your case and moving forward to settle this unfortunate matter.
