Dylan Braverman Obtains Pre-Answer Dismissal of Death and COVID-19 Claims against Long Island Facility

Dylan Braverman moved to dismiss all death, statutory and malpractice claims brought against a facility. Plaintiff claimed that poor infection control and lack of COVID-19 preparation led to exposure and death of an allegedly vulnerable patient. Dylan argued that the care was covered under state and federal immunities warranting pre-answer dismissal prior to discovery.  Plaintiff submitted a lengthy opposition; however, the court agreed with BPN and dismissed all claims prior to discovery. We are once again thrilled to have obtained dismissal of claims brought against medical professionals who risked their lives to help New Yorkers in their moment of need during the darkest days of the pandemic.
