ABC News Talks to Tom Baker about Covid Coverage Litigation Tracker

In light of the surge of universities and businesses suing insurance companies to recover losses suffered during the pandemic, Tom Baker of University of Pennsylvania Carey School of Law was interviewed by ABC News for his work on the Covid Coverage Litigation Tracker. The tracker provides empirical research on insurance disputes and resolutions during the pandemic. 

“Early in the pandemic, most lawsuits were filed by smaller businesses and had an air of desperation,” Baker told ABC News. “But many of the most recent cases are being brought by larger, more robust businesses in a "thoughtful and measured way."  

Baker is a leading scholar of insurance law and policy. He served as Reporter for Restatement of the Law, Liability Insurance, published in 2019
