A federal judge has ruled the families of three people who died at a Billings nursing home can sue the business. Congress passed a measure to exempt care facilities from certain liabilities during the COVID-19 emergency. Attorneys for the familes have sued Koelsch Senior Communities, which operates Canyon Creek in Billings, alleging their elderly loved ones died during the COVID pandemic from a lack of care and neglect at the nursing center. The case will now move toward trial, according to one of the attorneys representing the three estates.
