Although typically static by nature, California workers’ compensation laws experienced an unexpected level of activity due to the Covid 19 pandemic and Governor Gavin Newsom’s delineation of “essential workers” during the time of the first Stay-At-Home order in March 2020.

This presentation will focus on:

– Workers’ compensation laws dealing with “non-occupational diseases” prior to Covid 19
– Statutory presumptions related to Covid 19 as the result of the passage of SB1159
– Workers’ compensation issues/considerations as the economy continues to reopen
