As one of the epicenters of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the State of New Jersey has provided substantial immunity to the medical field providing treatment for the infectious disease. However, the immunity granted does not apply to acts or omissions constituting a crime, actual fraud, actual malice, gross negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct, that resulted in a COVID-19 infection causing sickness or wrongful death. You may also have a claim for negligent transmission of the virus by a person or business that was not providing treatment for COVID-19 at the time of transmission.

If you or a loved one was exposed to this disease by while under at home care, in a nursing home or at work, please contact us at mventura@summitlawyers.net to learn about your legal rights.
