Remove Linked List Elements

My Solution

Python

# Definition for singly-linked list.
class ListNode:
    def __init__(self, val=0, next=None):
        self.val = val
        self.next = next


def removeElements(head: Optional[ListNode], val: int) -> Optional[ListNode]:
    new_node = ListNode(0, head)

    curr = new_node

    while curr:
        if curr.next and curr.next.val == val:
            curr.next = curr.next.next
        else:
            curr = curr.next

    return new_node.next
