New ILR Poll Shows Majority Of Americans Still Support Protecting Employers From Covid-19 Lawsuits
A new national survey released by the U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform shows that almost eight in ten Americans across the political spectrum agree: employers who follow the latest government health guidelines should be protected from COVID-related lawsuits.
The telephone survey, which was conducted on November 3, found that 79 percent of Americans agree that, aside from cases of gross negligence, employers who follow such guidelines should be protected from lawsuits. The survey also shows that strong majorities of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents agree that Congress should pass liability protections.
