As businesses begin to reopen and employees return to work, companies may be held responsible if an employee or customer becomes infected with COVID-19. In the coming weeks and months, companies can expect to see an increase in the number of tort litigation cases, particularly those involving wrongful death claims, where individuals allege negligence or even intentional infliction of emotional distress. Businesses that have a high concentration of employees working in close quarters are even more at risk.Mara Cohara and Eric Swan, tort litigation attorneys at Lathrop GPM, talk about what companies should be doing now in preparation of bringing employees back into the workplace, and what to expect from consumers. They predict a spike in cases involving tort claims from people who allege they contracted COVID-19 or experienced flu-like symptoms from their workplace or a business they visited, as an increase in tort claims usually goes hand-in-hand with a general public awareness of a health crisis.The two most common claims will be related to:Failure to provide adequate equipment (such as PPE) or training to employeesFailure to provide consumers with proper safety conditionsWhile there is not a lot that companies can do to prevent lawsuits from being filed, there are steps to minimize risk and prepare a defense to swiftly resolve the case. For example, they advise companies to retain documented communications showing safety measures that are recommended and followed.Eric Swan focuses his practice on defending Fortune 500 companies in complex litigation involving product liability, significant mass tort actions, including multi-district litigation, and commercial disputes. In addition to his legal experience, he has a science background with a master’s in cancer biology; prior to practicing law, he worked in vaccine development.Mara Cohara leads the Environmental and Tort Practice Group and her litigation work spans federal and state courts, including more than 20 states.

After earning her B.S. from Journalism School at the University Kansas, Amy went to work at Lathrop & Gage (now Lathrop Gage) for Katie Hollar Barnard.

Local activists working for single-payer healthcare are the main focus of this week's show, but we start with a little coverage of WMD in Kansas City.  Most people don't know that a plant in Kansas City produces about 85% of the components for the United States' nuclear weapons arsenal.  The General Services Administration and the National Nuclear Security Administration have teamed up with private developers,  compliant Kansas City politicians, the KC Planned Industrial Expansion Authority (PIEA)- a state chartered quasi-city agency - and the Lathrop & Gage law firm  to come up with a $600 million + Kansas City tax-abated, PIEA-owned new WMD components plant built in a soybean field they contrived to have designated as "blighted." We have some short excerpts from the latest PIEA hearing, where boosters speak and power-point at length, and critics, including a former employee charging poor work place hazard handling are removed by security. After that, we listen to Dee Berry and Mary Lindsay, local activists with Heartland Healthcare for All talking about why Single Payer Healthcare is the only healthcare 'reform' worthy of the term, and what they are doing to get the word out.
