Employers are bracing for four types of employment claims arising out of the COVID-19 pandemic

As we ease into a “new normal” across the country, we’re seeing early evidence that COVID-19-related employment claims are on the rise.

A new Liberty Mutual/Ironshore sponsored white paper, authored with Peter J. Woo of Goldberg Segalla, LLP, outlines the top four types of potential employment claims expected in 2020.  We also review key questions for claims professionals, risk managers, human resources professionals, and in-house attorneys to ask after receiving a COVID-19-related claim.
