More details to this question:
The nurse did not wipe it with alcohol or give me a band aid, she left the room after he got his shots and then the doctor came in to try and smooth everything over..we asked for a accident report he said there was no need for it..after awhile we got one but how everything happened was not stated on the accident report and he refused to change anything on the accident report. Report does clearly state that a nurse stuck me with a needle on accident.

I am sorry to hear about this. However, unless you suffered significant injures as a result of this, it is likely that you will not be successful with any legal action. You could file a grievance with the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure. Here is the link with more information: http://kbml.ky.gov/grievances.htm. Also, you may want to consider switching health-care providers.
