New workplace class-action lawsuits linked to the CCP virus—also known as the novel coronavirus—doubled between April and June, according to a new survey, even as Congress prepares for a heated debate on providing new liability protections for health care workers and companies.
“The numbers have been rising for months, from 60 cases filed in April to 122 in June,” stated Law360, a legal industry publication, citing data from a regular survey of new litigation that has been filed.
