Family member had medical emergency at work and was refused the approval to leave early— advice?

Hi everyone, A family member of mine suffered a health emergency while on their shift and their manager refused to let them leave early, even though this family member was telling the manager that they were really not feeling well. They worked for at least another 4 hours. The situation was made worse by management’s purposeful neglect to address harassment happening by coworkers toward my family member. Once the workplace got confirmation of their neglect through post-medical records, they have gone silent on my family member and obviously trying to avoid responsibility. My question is if there is anything that can be done from our end against the company? Their neglect from multiple stances is just not right. We’re located in the US. Sorry for the vagueness, I will provide extra information if possible but I’m keeping it vague for safety reasons(?).
