How Was Coronavirus Able To Spread Into A Holding Center?

This question is on everyone’s mind. As closed facilities, holding centers and correctional facilities should have had plans in place to protect its workers and population from contracting coronavirus. Unlike other facilities where individuals, such as workers, had many potential touch-points with COVID-19, those being held in correctional facilities did not, and they should’ve been protected.

In many facilities, health and safety plans were either not implemented or they weren’t followed.

If your family has recently lost a loved one to COVID-19 while they were being held at a holding center or correctional facility, The Barnes Firm is here to help you find answers that can give you and your family closure. Our best coronavirus lawyer can go over your legal options 24/7.

Our Coronavirus Lawyer

The Barnes Firm has been closely monitoring the situation involving COVID-19 since the beginning, and our coronavirus lawyers were shocked and disappointed when we heard that many of those being held in correctional facilities and holding centers contracted the deadly virus. There’s only one way for coronavirus to cause this damage: it had to come into these facilities from the outside.

Correctional facilities and holding centers have a duty of care, and in some situations, that duty was neglected. Our best coronavirus lawyers think that’s wrong, and we’re now fighting for families who’ve suffered the loss of a loved one.

How The Barnes Firm Is Helping Families Affected By COVID-19

Correctional facilities and holding centers should’ve been some of the few pockets of resistance against the coronavirus since those being held in these facilities had little to no contact with the outside world. However, just a few weeks into the pandemic, these facilities were identified as hot spots for the virus to spread.

How does this happen? Holding centers and correctional facilities must be held accountable for any wrongful deaths that tragically occurred under their watch.

What can you do? The Barnes Firm is helping families get answers and gain closure.

Step 3

The last step in this process is getting you and your family the best result possible. This not only means recovering the maximum compensation your family’s owed, but also holding those responsible for the wrongful death of a loved one accountable so that their negligent actions aren’t repeated in the future, which could cause more families to unjustly suffer in a correctional facility or holding center.

This final step will look into every potential factor that could help maximize your family’s compensation, and hold correctional facilities accountable for their negligent actions which allowed COVID-19 to enter their facilities.

In many situations, your claim can spark meaningful changes in policies at holding centers and correctional facilities, or even adjust the laws the govern these facilities to make them safer and healthier places for the detained population.
