Welcome to Southeast Takeaways, a weekly column that will zero in on the key issues affecting lawyers and law firms in Florida and beyond, with the goal of providing actionable takeaways for navigating them.

This week, I drill down on COVID-19 liability shields.

What’s happening?

  • You’d be forgiven for assuming COVID-related negligence cases are in vogue right now, but that’s not what attorneys are seeing. It’s actually very difficult to sue over a virus and win.
  • Health care providers and general businesses will likely have different protections and procedural requirements.
  • The laws won’t retroactively apply to claims that already exist.
