Nursing Home Liability
COVID-19 has taken our country by storm since January 2020. However, it is unacceptable for nursing homes to be running low on PPE and other items necessary to prevent infection. Failure by nursing home administrators to prepare for mass-infection, such as COVID-19, is grounds for a Coronavirus lawsuit. When essential supplies are missing, resident’s lives are put at risk. N95 masks, face shields and other PPE products are not new, they are commonly used items throughout the medical field. Families of residents must ask themselves why essential supplies are not available? Why didn’t nursing homes have adequate supplies prior to the outbreak? Why were nursing homes not prepared for the worst? If your loved one has passed away due to Coronavirus while at a nursing home and the home lacked the supplies needed to prevent infection, you should always speak with a Coronavirus attorney in your time of need.
