BUSINESS INTERRUPTION INSURANCE CLAIM
Natural disasters such as floods, fires or hurricanes can damage a lot more than just property. Often, businesses have to be closed for weeks or months at a time while repairs are being made. Long periods of business pause can cause financial devastation or even ruin for many businesses. Small businesses can be hit especially hard by a shut down. It is those instances where business owners depend on their insurance to help during these unforeseen events. That is not always the case.

DOES BUSINESS INTERRUPTION INSURANCE COVER COVID-19?
Business Interruption Coverage is determined by the specific language of the policy itself. To determine whether losses caused by COVID-19 are covered by the policy, the policy holder should review their policy. While it is unlikely that a policy will specifically include language related to pandemics, there may be coverage for government actions or other similar language that covers such losses.
WAS YOUR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION CLAIM DENIED?
Your insurance company may have already denied your business interruption claim for a number of reasons. Common reasons for claim denial include exclusion for pandemics, insufficient interruption, or loss of income is due to other reasons unrelated to the disaster. If your business interruption claim has been wrongfully denied, it is crucial that you fight to keep your business alive.
