Nursing Home Injuries: Covid-19 Related Deaths & Infection

HANDLING CASES OF NURSING HOME NEGLECT

There is no question that the novel Coronavirus is taking its toll on all Americans, and even those right here in Tallahassee. No family has escaped the impact and we all have stories we can share that we will remember for generations to come. Perhaps most alarming, is the impact this widespread pandemic has had on our family members and loved ones who currently reside in skilled nursing homes.

Nursing homes in Florida and Georgia have been closed to outside visitors since mid-March, leaving many family members concerned about the welfare of their loved ones who reside in long-term care facilities. This has left our loved ones, friends and neighbors concerned about what the future holds for long-term care residents.

Brooks LeBeouf’s own attorney Scott Gwartney is staying abreast of these minute-by-minute changes and working hard to ensure everyone has the representation they deserve. As he shared in a recent interview with NPR, “Until these facilities open up to family visitors again, we just don’t know what is happening behind closed doors.”

If your loved one is currently residing in a nursing home or long-term care facility and you are worried about their well-being, our Tallahassee nursing home neglect lawyers can help you. Call (850) 222-2000

Dean Leboeuf represented me a long time ago and consulted that I only needed a public defender. He took the time to come to the court room and let the judge know that I was seeking other counsel. He did not charge me for this. I will always remember this and D. Wu

When there was “too much at stake” Mr. LeBoeuf was certainly there for me. He is empathetic, competent, insightful, wise, and for me literally “a lawyer’s lawyer”. His guidance, analysis, personal support, practice and professionalism are best-in-category. I will be forever grateful for his objective and always-courteous service to me as his client. His comprehensive vision of the entire matter, as well as his honorable advice and presentations, were instrumental in the circumstances and in clarifying the resolution of the matter. One could not ask for more or better legal services. He is a consummate and reliable professional, and a genuinely good person, who understands and accomplishes fairness.
