Insurance companies are great at taking premiums but often not so great at paying claims. Throughout the United States, businesses paid premiums for business interruption insurance. Now, these companies and corporations, which relied on their business interruption insurance safety net, are being cast aside by insurers. Insurers are claiming that a catastrophe like the Coronavirus and COVID-19 is not a covered loss relying on certain policy language. Insurers apparently prefer to have premium paying customers look to the government and our children’s future to pay for business interruption.
Businesses and Industries Affected
Certain insurance companies, however, can be held accountable. Businesses in the following industries should ask us for a free review of their insurance business interruption policies: accounting and consulting, apparel and clothing stores, automotive dealers and suppliers, construction, dentists, orthodontists, dermatologists and other physicians, employment companies, fitness and gyms, hotels and hospitality, manufacturers, movie theaters, restaurants, travel, etc. If your business insurer denied a business interruption claim, call us. We may be in the position to help recoup your company’s losses.
