Why Major Networks Are Talking About Jonna Spilbor’s Class Action Lawsuit on Nursing Home Deaths
Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo's "unmitigated greed" and "deliberate indifference" caused him and state health officials to bungle their COVID-19 response so much that it led to the "needless" deaths of up to 15,000 nursing home residents, a class action lawsuit is claiming.
Sean Newman, a Nassau man whose parents died from COVID-19, filed the lawsuit in Brooklyn Federal Court on March 28 through his attorneys Jonna Spilbor and Michael Kasanoff, who also are representing Dan Arbeeny in a similar lawsuit, according to the New York Post.
Cuomo has denied he was personally responsible for the deaths and denied that his decisions were motivated by generating material for a $5 million book deal, The Post article states.
The claims stem from "a state order that required nursing homes to receive patients who had been treated for COVID-19," according to Fox News. The order was later reversed, but not before it affected thousands of nursing home patients at the beginning of the pandemic.
Cuomo published "American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic" in October 2020, about six months after Newman's parents died weeks apart from each other at different nursing homes.
If you lost a loved one to Covid-19 while they were residing in a nursing home in 2020, you may be able to join the lawsuit and receive compensation for your loss. Time is of the essence. To learn more, visit jonnaspilbor.com or call 845-485-2529.
