Does My Business Operation Policy Cover Covid-19 Interruptions and Losses?

COVID-19 Business Interruption Losses

It is an unfortunate fact that not all business owners, large or small, may have an insurance policy in place that may provide assistance during these trying economic times.

Deciphering and trying to remember the fine print of your business operation policy can seem like a daunting task, especially when faced with uncertainty.

Through decades of experience interpreting insurance jargon, our business interruption lawyers know how to carefully review business owner policies to help determine: 

  • Inclusion of business interruption coverage
  • Exclusions of coverage
  • Any necessary documentation needed to substantiate and submit a business interruption claim

If our legal team identifies that your policy may provide coverage, we will walk you through the steps to seek restitution for any property and/or business loss that was the direct result of a business interruption due to the coronavirus epidemic.  

How to Determine Business Interruption Insurance Coverage?

The purpose of a business interruption insurance policy is to compensate owners for revenue lost during a forced closure. The main step to helping determine if a policyholder has business interruption coverage is to look for specific coverage language stating:

  • A policyholder can no longer do business as a direct physical loss to the insured property because of a covered peril, such as water, fire, storm, etc.   

Some insurance providers may try to argue that a virus cannot cause direct physical damage to property. 

However, an experienced attorney could present a sound argument that an infected employee or other individual could have directly contaminated the premises making it unsafe for others to enter, forcing a closure.   

Another argument for physical damages could pertain to a local government mandating business closures in specific areas. Under Civil Authority, local businesses may be ordered to close to help prevent a community virus from spreading and harming others. 

In other words, even though your business insurance policy may include specific terms of coverage, it can be open to interpretation by your policy provider. Those variances could result in them denying or underpaying a business interruption claim. That’s why you need the assistance of a business interruption lawyer to even the playing field and ensure a more fair outcome.
