Covid 19 Lawsuits
The topic is Covid 19 and the lawsuits that have been filed because of it. Most are employees that have filed lawsuits. Lots in Pennsylvania and Walmart is also facing suits.

However, legal experts say the United States’ coronavirus epidemic could reverse that trend, because the early round of liability lawsuits filed against employers are focused on whether employers followed state and federal guidance for combatting the virus’ spread, such as the use of face masks and physical distancing. According to the experts, employers that failed to adhere to the guidance potentially could be found liable in court if their employees contract the coronavirus.
