China Scope – Justice U.S. Law Firm Filed Class Action Lawsuit against Beijing over Its Role in Coronavirus Pandemic
March 17, 2020
The Berman Law Group, a law firm in Boca Raton, Florida, filed a class-action lawsuit on March 12, to hold the Chinese government accountable for the deadly coronavirus now sweeping America.
The lawsuit, which names five plaintiffs from Florida, seeks class-action status for any American injured or affected by the coronavirus.
None of the plaintiffs have been diagnosed with COVID-19, the law firm said.
The suit alleges that the Chinese government “knew that COVID-19 was dangerous and capable of causing a pandemic, yet officials acted slowly, proverbially put their heads in the sand, and/or covered it up for their own economic self-interest.”
