What is the current status of businesses reopening in your state? If you are a business that is permitted to reopen, what are the general considerations you should make before deciding whether to do so? If your state return to work order includes liability protection, will it really protect you? How far will the protection extend?

This presentation covered these questions, as well as other topics, including:

• What are the main areas of liability that companies are facing when returning to work?
• What type of claims could a business face without liability protection?
• What litigation have we seen related to COVID-19?
• What theories of liability could be alleged?
