Nursing Home Coronavirus Lawyer Philadelphia

We all know that with the advent of modern medicine, many citizens are living well past known life expectancies, and as a result, there are many more nursing facilities who house and care for our beloved ones. So how does Covid19 affect the residents and workers in nursing facilities, after all, many if not all the residents in these facilities are at a much higher risk because of their age and infirmity?

There is no way to guarantee that residents and workers at these facilities can be guaranteed that they will not contract Covid19. However, there are many systems in place and systems that are strongly recommended if you are running and working at a nursing facility like a nursing home.  

Without systems for infection prevention control (IPC), residents and healthcare workers are at substantial risk for contracting and spreading this deadly virus.  At The Law Offices of Greg Prosmushkin, P.C., we understand this and are equipped to uncover shabby systems that could have prevented you or a loved one from contracting the Covid19 and possibly dying because of the virus.  

At The Law Offices of Greg Prosmushkin, P.C., we believe that nursing facilities like nursing homes and assisted care facilities have a duty to protect their residents, patients, and their families from contracting Covid19. The CDC (Centers for Disease Control) has guidelines for preventing residents and workers at these facilities from contracting the virus. Failure to follow accepted protocols such as washing, distancing, masking and other measures may lead to liability for these institutions if you or a loved one contracts Covid19.

If you or a loved one is currently at one of these facilities, ask the management what steps they are taking to protect everyone.  Be vocal to the management if you see that there are violations in distancing, visiting, masking, and IPC prevention.  If you experience a loss, and you believe that it is because you or a loved one were not protected, call The Law Offices of Greg Prosmushkin, P.C. at 215-673-7733 for a free consultation to see what your rights are.
