As a bonus to Bond’s March 22 Back to Business webinar, Bond labor and employment attorney Stephanie H. Fedorka recapped the day’s discussion of COVID-19 and the workers’ compensation laws. As a general rule, any COVID-related illnesses or injuries arising out of a person’s employment are subject to the workers’ compensation exclusivity rule, which holds that employees have to seek relief for workplace injuries from the state workers’ compensation board, as opposed to a lawsuit filed in court.

The full Tuesday webinar covered the following topics:

• COVID & NY  HERO Act Update
• Uniformed Services Employment & Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) 
• COVID Litigation & Workers’ Compensation Exclusivity
• New York’s Automatic Renewal Law
• Business Insurance Coverage in the Time of COVID
