Opinion: The Pathway to Justice for COVID-19 Cases After Nassau County Ruling

For 2.5 years, I have tirelessly sought an attorney to fight for justice in the case of my daughter’s tragic death, a situation that I firmly believe to be a case of cold-blooded murder. My daughter was a patient at Northwell Health Glen Cove Hospital, where the doctors knowingly, willfully, and intentionally tortured, overdosed, experimented on, and ultimately killed my only child within a span of 40 days.

This nightmare was made even more egregious by the protections offered to healthcare providers under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act, which essentially shielded them from liability related to COVID-19 treatments. These protections left many grieving families, including mine, with little recourse for seeking justice through the legal system. However, a recent court ruling in Nassau County, NY, offers a glimmer of hope for those of us left in the wake of such devastating losses.

The New York Supreme Court has ruled that hospitals can indeed be sued, a decision that potentially dismantles the immunity provided by the PREP Act in cases where gross negligence or willful misconduct can be demonstrated. This ruling, outlined in the full decision available here:

is a monumental step forward for families like mine who have been battling for accountability.

A Turning Point for Justice

This court ruling is not just a legal technicality; it is a beacon of hope for families who have been wronged. For too long, the PREP Act's blanket protection has allowed hospitals and healthcare providers to operate without fear of legal repercussions, even in situations where patients were subjected to egregious mistreatment. The Nassau County decision changes the landscape, opening up the possibility for real accountability and justice.

The ruling acknowledges that the extraordinary circumstances of the pandemic do not absolve healthcare providers from their duty of care. It states unequivocally that when doctors and hospitals cross the line into willful misconduct, they should be held accountable. This is a critical distinction that affirms the rights of patients and their families to seek redress.

Will Attorneys Step Up?

The question now is whether attorneys will rise to this challenge and step up to represent families like mine. The legal pathway has been clarified, but it requires courageous and committed attorneys to walk it with us.

Attorneys have a unique opportunity to make a profound difference in the lives of countless families who have suffered in silence. By taking on these cases, they can help ensure that no other family has to experience the heartbreak and injustice that we have endured. They can bring to light the truth of what happened behind closed doors during the pandemic and hold those responsible accountable.

A Call for Other States to Follow

Moreover, this ruling sets a precedent that should not be confined to Nassau County alone. Other states must take note and follow suit. The pandemic was a global crisis, and its impact was felt in every corner of the country. The legal protections that have shielded healthcare providers must be reassessed nationwide to ensure that justice is not selectively applied.

The ruling in Nassau County should serve as a catalyst for a broader movement towards accountability and transparency in the healthcare system. It is imperative that other jurisdictions recognize the importance of this decision and work towards similar rulings that prioritize the rights and safety of patients.

A Personal Plea

As a grieving parent, this ruling rekindles a spark of hope within me—a hope that justice might finally be attainable. But we cannot do it alone. We need the legal community to stand with us, to advocate for us, and to fight for justice on our behalf.

To the attorneys reading this: Will you come to our aid? Will you stand up for grieving families whose loved ones were subjected to unspeakable acts in the name of treatment? We need your expertise, your dedication, and your compassion to navigate this complex legal landscape and to hold those responsible accountable.

Conclusion

The Nassau County ruling is a significant step towards justice for COVID-19 cases, but it is only the beginning. It is a call to action for attorneys across the country to step up and for other states to follow suit. Together, we can ensure that the memories of our loved ones are honored, and that their deaths were not in vain. Justice delayed must not be justice denied.
