May 22, 2023
Lori Semlies (Partner-White Plains, NY) is cited in the Bloomberglaw.com article “Covid-19 Care Provider Shields Remain Strong Despite Scrutiny,” published May 19, 2023. The expiration of COVID-19 shielding laws against liability has driven questions about whether the repeal applies retroactively, with healthcare providers potentially liable for actions taken in early pandemic days. With the New York Appellate Division, Fourth Department, holding that the repeal is not retroactive, Lori notes, “All eyes are now on the Second Department, which is considering the same issue.”
