Kelly Bronner, Brian Andrews, and Dylan Braverman successfully obtained pre-answer dismissal of all claims against a Manhattan nursing home. The plaintiff had alleged wrongful death and statutory violations arising from the patient’s exposure to and death from COVID-19. Instead of answering the complaint, the BPN team moved to dismiss, arguing that the plaintiff was not legally permitted to bring the action. After extensive motion practice and oral argument, the court agreed and dismissed all claims in their entirety.
