A New York Coronavirus Injury Lawyer Can Determine Who’s Responsible for a Coronavirus Infection

In order to make a liability claim for a Coronavirus infection, it’s necessary to prove that the infection was preventable if proper precautions were taken. For example, if you were in the hospital for an appendectomy and were attended by an unprotected nurse that was also caring for a patient with Coronavirus, both the hospital and the nurse could be held liable. In a nursing home setting, if the facility did not take proper precautions to isolate a Coronavirus patient and disinfect the rest of the home, they could be held liable for causing the infection in other residents.
