Caroline J. Berdzik, chair of Goldberg Segalla’s Employment and Labor and Health Care groups, discusses in an interview with the Albany Times Union how courts will see an increase of class-action and individual lawsuits over COVID-19 restrictions.

In the article, Caroline talks about how the outcome of a case depends on a variety of factors, including the judge, the state where the case originates, and the respective state constitution governing executive power.

“I think you’re going to see a lot more of these lawsuits as we start to emerge from the pandemic and business owners really step back and see what’s left in terms of many businesses not being able to reopen,” Caroline said. “This is all going to get untangled, and unfortunately, it’s going to get untangled in the court system.”
