Other Activities

Vince Colella[18] has also raised concerns that potential personal injury suits will not be the only one that businesses may face during the COVID-19 situation. He is of the view that there will be an uptick in whistleblower lawsuits once the COVID-19 crisis begins to wane. He expects these cases will be presented from a perspective different from that of traditional whistleblowers. “Whistleblowers tend to blow the whistle for what they deem is the greater good,” he said. “With COVID-19 whistleblowers, I believe you will see more cases of perceived harm to the individual whistleblowers themselves," said Colella in Michigan Lawyers Weekly.[19]
