INSURANCE - COVID-19 LIKELY TO LEAD TO FLOOD OF INSURANCE LITIGATION
Businesses routinely purchase insurance to provide protection against many risks – Errors and Omissions, General Liability, Automobile, Health, Life, etc. “Business Interruption Insurance” is a lesser- known policy, providing money to a business when it can’t operate due to damages to its physical spaces, such as a fire that burns through a warehouse, a flood that inundates an office, or a tornado that tears the roof off a distribution center. As with all policies, however, the significant language is not the type of coverage – ‘business interruption insurance’ – but the types of exclusions. For example, interruptions due to tornados and hurricanes may be excluded in some geographic areas, while shut downs due to floods may not be covered in others. And many policies will not cover losses a business suffers if it is shut down as a result of governmental orders. So, it is likely that claims put in by companies closed down due to government orders related to corona virus may be denied by the insurance company. The likelihood of denial increases the longer business remain closed and the more companies that place claims under their policies. Proper interpretation of the language in the insurance policy (which is a contract), proper documentation of the amounts of losses and cause of losses, and accurate communication of the claim will minimize the chance of denial. If your company has been forced to shut down completely, or has had to reduce its operations, Reed Business Law can review your policies and improve your chances of receiving the coverage benefits you paid for.
