A lawsuit filed by the family of a Palisades Medical Center employee and his wife, who died from COVID-19 days apart, has been reinstated by an appellate court panel.
Alfredo Pabatao, 68, a transport aide at the North Bergen hospital, and Susana Pabatao, 64, an assistant nurse at New Bridge Medical Center in Paramus, were among the first to die from the coronavirus in late March 2020. The couple, who lived in Palisades Park, were hospitalized at Palisades Medical Center (PMC) when they died.
