KBR attorneys Mario Giannettino and Lindsey Nourse secure the dismissal of three separate matters.
In each case, plaintiffs alleged the defendants, skilled nursing facilities, failed to appropriately respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. In dismissing the actions, the courts held that the facilities were entitled to immunity under the Emergency Disaster Treatment Protection Act.
