Nationwide, at least 18 cases of wrongful death have been alleged by surviving family members of employees who died from COVID-19. The lawsuits contend that the employers provided unsafe working conditions and failed to follow federal and local COVID-19 safety guidance. What’s more, the lawsuits seek to go beyond the “exclusive remedy” of workers' compensation and seek monetary damages by alleging negligence. “Exclusive remedy” is shorthand for the bargain between employees and employers that exists in the workers' compensation system where employees give up their right to sue employers in exchange for no fault insurance against any injuries they incur.
