What is business interruption insurance?
Business interruption insurance is commonly included within a Commercial General Liability (CGL) insurance policy. This coverage is meant to help in the event a business experiences a disruption to its normal operation for qualifying reasons. Every policy is different and may or may not provide coverage. Some GCL policies will initially provide coverage but then contain an exclusion taking away the coverage. For this reason, it is important to provide us with the entire policy, including all riders, addendums and exclusions.
Does coronavirus qualify me for a business interruption claim?
Possibly. There is no way to know whether a particular policy provides coverage until a business insurance lawyer reviews it. The question that remains is whether your business sustained a direct physical loss of or damage to insured property. We anticipate most insurance companies will fight whether there was such a physical loss. Based upon our review of a few CGL policies, we believe some may provide coverage in certain circumstances.
Coronavirus lawsuits
Businesses throughout the country are filing lawsuits against their insurance companies to test whether coverage exists.
Contingency fees on coronavirus claims
Since coronavirus business interruption claims could be decided in favor of the insurance company, many businesses do not have the capital to pay a business interruption law firm thousands of dollars per per hour to litigate these claims.
If your business has verified loss of gross income in excess of $200,000 and we believe your policy provides coverage, we will pursue your claim on a contingency fee basis. This means we do not earn an attorneys’ fee unless we are successful on your claim.
