COVID litigation, lessons for businesses from the courtroom
SUBSCRIBE
Since the COVID-19 pandemic struck in earnest last March, the courts have been flooded with lawsuits. To date, about 10,000 employer-focused lawsuits have been filed with more coming every day. There have been 1280 lawsuits filed in the last six weeks alone. No state is unaffected. California led the pack with 259 while tiny Vermont clocked in at 3 cases.
These lawsuits come in a wide variety of shapes and forms. From risk to exposure and wrongful death claims to leave denial, the ADA, retaliation cases, and more, businesses find themselves in tricky legal situations. Even as businesses continue to adapt and new issues are arising like vaccination requirements for employees.
