He\u2019s representing a man in his late 20\u2019s who he says, will be on oxygen the rest of his life because he caught COVID-19 at his workplace of Lakeside Health and Wellness.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an assisted living facility which, early in the pandemic, was the place of half of Washoe County\u2019s COVID deaths<\/a> and Santos says, half the patients had COVID.<\/p>\n

Santos said his client worked long hours taking care of those infected and wasn\u2019t around anyone else who tested positive.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe period of time right before he came down with it, they [employees] were being told to take off their mask, turn it inside out, and go into the next room,\u201d said Santos.<\/p>\n

He said the client was in the hospital for weeks, on a ventilator, and he was new to the job so his insurance didn\u2019t kick in until three days after his care started.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere will he go if everything is denied through Workers\u2019 Comp. and then he has to pay this six-figure bill?\u201d said Santos. \u201cHow is he going to pay for all the treatment the rest of his life?\u201d<\/p>\n
