Across the United States, civil authorities have ordered the shutdown of nonessential businesses in response to the coronavirus outbreak. This has caused enormous hardship for business owners.

As a business owner, you likely have a commercial insurance policy that includes business interruption coverage. This coverage is designed to replace lost income and pay for extra expenses in the event of a disaster. Therefore, if your company has suffered financial losses due to COVID-19, you may have a claim.

However, chances are the insurance company won’t make things easy. They may take any number of steps to deny your claim. For example, they may cite policy language that limits coverage to “direct physical loss of or damage to property.”

As you can see, business interruption coverage is a complex area of insurance law, and the language of your policy is important. If your insurance company is denying, delaying, or underpaying your claim – even if you suspect they may be right to do so – give us a call.
