Managing Attorney, Monique Pride Brooks, successfully defended a complex case involving alleged COVID-19 exposure and multiple injuries. With significant costs at stake, Monique built a strong case, proving that the applicant’s risk of contracting COVID-19 was no greater than that of the general public and that no work-related injury occurred.
California law requires proving that workplace exposure to COVID-19 – or any disease like influenza or pneumonia – was notably higher than the general public’s risk. Monique challenged this presumption, preventing costly evaluations, benefit payouts, legal fees, and settlement expenses.
In this high-exposure case, Monique’s defense led to a Take Nothing outcome for her client.
