QUESTION
One of my Dad's caretakers filed a report with the VA saying that I am a danger to my father because of how I talk to him. Do I have a case?

More details to this question:
My dad's caretaker and I got into an argument after I caught her making fun of me. She also violated HIPA and that's when we got into an heated verbal argument. I just found out today that she filed a complaint with the VA in which she thinks I am a danger to my father and that I shouldn't be alone with him. This couldn't be father from the truth. This complaint makes me horribly angry because of the false nature of it. Can I go after her and her employer for filing that false report?

Possibly. It will depend on the details and whether you want to spend the money to hire a lawyer to take such action for you. These are not typically cintingent fee cases like car accidents.
