Attorneys representing the families of two veterans who died of the coronavirus at the LaSalle Veterans’ Home said Friday they’ve launched their own investigation into the cause of the outbreak at the downstate facility.
Lawyers from the Levin & Perconti law firm are working with the families of Korean War veterans Richard Cieski and Anthony Samolinski to investigate the causes of the November outbreak that killed the two men and could file lawsuits on their behalf. The firm has previously filed suits on behalf of COVID victims in about a dozen private nursing homes across the state, a statement from the firm said.
