Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (WMC) is calling on lawmakers to support new legislation that would protect businesses, individuals and others from frivolous lawsuits related to COVID-19.
The bill would create a safe harbor for all property owners or occupants who are good actors against frivolous lawsuits alleging a plaintiff was infected with COVID-19 at a specific premise. “While businesses and communities are coming together to take on the challenges associated with COVID-19, there are unfortunately an increasing number of trial lawyers looking to profit off of this crisis,” said Scott Manley, WMC Executive Vice President of Government Relations. “Now is the time to protect all Wisconsinites from these needless and frivolous lawsuits.”
