Newland & Newland, LLP Helps Clients Seek Compensation for Viral, Bacterial, and Toxic Illness

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL (PRWEB) MARCH 13, 2020

Contracting a virus or other illness can entitle someone to compensation. The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is currently at the forefront of the news, and the World Health Organization (WHO) recently declared the outbreak a global pandemic. Tens of thousands of people throughout the world have been infected with the virus, which was first detected in Wuhan, China in December 2019. The number of coronavirus cases in the United States has steadily increased, prompting President Trump to suspend air travel from Europe to the U.S. for 30 days.

As the coronavirus continues to spread, many people may be wondering about their legal options if they contract this virus or if a family member dies as a result of complications related to COVID-19. Victims should work with a personal injury attorney to determine whether they can pursue compensation from negligent parties who may be responsible for the spread of COVID-19 or other infectious diseases. The accomplished law firm of Newland & Newland has successfully litigated personal injury and medical negligence claims related to disease transmission for more than 20 years.
