Families sue Atlanta senior-care facility at heart of deadly Covid-19 outbreak

Three families are suing a home for seniors in Atlanta after the deaths of elderly residents who tested positive for the coronavirus.

The lawsuits allege that the home -- where at least 16 residents have died -- failed to take precautions necessary to prevent the spread of Covid-19 among residents and staff at the independent and assisted-living facility.

"From what we've seen this is the worst single outbreak at an assisted living facility, that we know of, in Georgia," said Fulton County Commissioner Marvin Arrington at an April 17 news conference.

Four lawsuits were filed in Fulton County State Court Thursday against Arbor Terrace at Cascade, its corporate owners and management alleging gross negligence and wrongful death in connection with the deaths of four residents, including a married couple. The lawsuits seek undetermined damages.

I'm sure there will be more who die thanks to Georgia's idiot Governor.
