The swine flu is slowly spreading across America, and insurers and businesses are getting ready for the possibility of swine flu related premises liability lawsuits. According to a news release from Mondaq.com, some businesses may be more exposed to premises liability lawsuits in the event of swine flu than others.
Hospitality businesses-such as restaurants and hotels-may face lawsuits from customers and employees who become sick from swine flu after visiting an establishment. Certain businesses may also expose customers and employees to swine flu by the nature of their services, such as delivery services. Of particular concern for businesses is the potential for one case to act as a gateway for several claims of exposure to the illness.
