Nursing homes dismiss wrongful death lawsuits using pandemic immunity laws in New York.

Nursing homes are using pandemic immunity laws to dismiss hundreds of wrongful death lawsuits, according to a report. Families claim they were misled about safety measures. In one case, Trever Schapers sued the nursing home for her father's death, but the judge dismissed the case due to a New York state law granting immunity to medical providers for harm or damages from acts or omissions during the pandemic.
