Issue

A spouse is suing her husband’s employer alleging that she caught a COVID-19 infection because her husband’s employer did not provide a safe work environment and he brought COVID-19 home.

October 12, 2022

The Restaurant Law Center and co-amici filed a brief in support of defendant, arguing that the Court should hold that lawsuits by employees’ family members for “take home” COVID-19 injuries are barred by the state’s workers’ compensation law and that employers do not owe a duty to protect non-employees from cases of “take home” COVID-19.
