No they don’t, and no there aren’t. Frivolous lawsuits are like unicorns. On the rare occasions when they occur, they are rapidly dismissed and usually at the cost and expense of the plaintiff. There are already 150,000 potential wrongful death cases. Where are all the tens of thousands of lawsuits? Where are all the tens of thousands of lawyer advertisements for these cases? Your post reads like that of a tort-reforming insurance industry propagandist. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This doesn’t prove that you didn’t come into the restaurant with covid or that you weren’t one of the lucky ones based on air circulation patterns, but contracted the virus later at another location. If anything, this shows just how difficult causation is to prove. You could be sitting one table over from a group of infected and not be exposed. Suing someone and proving that an infected person or employee was there isn’t factually sufficient evidence of causation. Not even close. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No. I’m not. Do the research. I don’t do TV. I’m a lawyer who doesn’t need directions to the courthouse. My rant last night also left off the issue of public universities, since some of these schools are private. Public universities have an extra layer of protection, deriving from their sovereign immunity, which in most states likely prevents these types of suits from being pursued against them at all, even if you could prove proximate cause. And then there’s assumption of the risk. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ignore this crap about personal injury lawsuits from Covid. It isn’t happening. It comes from a place of ignorance and fear, or worse, insurance industry propaganda. Lawsuits alleging negligent spread of Covid are few and far between. I know of one, and I’m sure it will not be successful. It will probably be dismissed and when it is, it won’t get 1/100th the headlines it got when it was filed. Only in the rarest of cases will these actually be viable lawsuits. You’ll need some special circumstances likely involving isolation of the infected prior to infection. I can think of a few cases that might be viable, such as a sleep-away summer camp or private boarding school that ignored warnings signs and did not take basic precautions, but even those cases will have steep hurdles most claims still can’t clear. Not only would you have to prove that a school or business breached their duty to limit the spread of the virus by exercising ordinary care, whatever that means in this instance, you also will have to prove proximate cause. Proving proximate cause means proving you got Covid as a result of that breach of the duty to exercise ordinary care. And you’ll need medical evidence. How exactly are most people with Covid going to do that? How can they prove the exact place where they got Covid? Is football practice the only place they have been around any other person? Is the air they breathe at football practice the only air they’ve breathed? Obviously not. Show me a scientific way to prove where you got the Covid specifically, because that is exactly what you’re going to need. You are going to need to prove based upon a reasonable degree of medical probability that your Covid came from the school’s breach of proper Covid protocols. That night you fucked your girlfriend? That restaurant you went to? The grocery store you went to? When you went to visit your parents? When you stopped at a gas station? The time you picked up drive-thru? How do you know your Covid came from the school and not from any of that? How do you prove the link? You don’t. Don’t believe me? Go do a Google search real quick for “Covid personal injury lawyer.” You will find lawyer websites in your search results, but what you won’t find is many lawyers looking to represent you for your Covid infection. You’ll find Lawyers looking for business interruption cases (business loss insurance claims). You’ll find defense firms looking to offer Covid advice. You’ll find personal injury law firms advising you that they are still open for business and are taking Covid precautions. You won’t find many lawyers looking to represent people who have Covid infections against places where they allegedly got infected. You will find zero on your first page of Google search results. I found one on page 3, if you can call it one at all. https://bernsteininjurylaw.com/blog/does-covid-19-constitute-a-personal-injury-claim/ It basically explains why you probably don’t have a case, as I just did above. Now, go do a Google search real quick for “18 wheeler personal injury lawyer.” Take a look at how many hundreds of law firms are itching to take your injury cases. None will explain to you why you probably don’t have a case. All will explain to you that you should call them ASAP for a free consultation. There are over 150,000 supposed, potential wrongful death COVID infection cases out there for plaintiffs personal injury lawyers. Why don’t you think lawyers are out there advertising for them like they are for 18 wheeler injuries and deaths? By the way, I’m not just saying this as some asshole on surly. I’m (also) saying this as a board certified personal injury lawyer who has personally recovered over $35 million for my clients in the last 10 years and has all the little awards like Super Lawyer, Top 100, etc. If you get Covid, don’t call me.

Well, UGa does play at OU in 2023. Will he still have any eligibility?

Proving causation is going to be next to impossible in these lawsuits. I know one was filed against Walmart in Illinois in April, but I'll bet you posting privileges for a year that it gets dismissed. And I'll bet that dismissal gets a fraction of the press and the original filing got. The insurance industry will use your fear of lawyers to further suppress your own rights and further insulate themselves from risk. This isn't really about coronavirus.

I am one of the poors. CDC confirmed it for me this morning by offering me the opporunity to buy tickets for away games with this one caveat: I'm not too broken up about it b/c I know these tickets will be the worst in the stadium. Finding a reliable person to sell me tickets on the secondary market is somewhat concerning though. If this game even happens.

What about the donation though? Looks like that’s just addressing tickets and parking. They’re just going to keep our donations, I’m guessing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I renewed mine before I ever heard of Rona. I also bought my September SWA flights to New Orleans before cfb cancellations were ever a consideration. What were the "options" for seat-related donations in baseball and softball? Sure would be nice if I could at least roll those over.
