IMPORTANT UPDATE: Insurance companies refuse to pay business interruption insurance for COVID-19 closings Some insurance companies are claiming that the government shutdown of businesses is not included in their policies, but many business owners disagree and are filing lawsuits. Their complaints cite the provisions of the policies, including that they were all-risk policies, with no exclusion for virus. The policies cover actual loss of business income due to necessary su...spension of the insureds’ operations caused by a direct physical loss of or damage to covered property. Suspension, according to the complaints, means partial slowdown or complete cessation of business activities when the insured premises are rendered untenantable. All the coverage grants require physical loss or damage. Even the civil authority provision provides that coverage is triggered if a non-excluded cause results in damage to property. The complaints allege that the civil authority provision is intended to cover losses resulting from government actions taken in response to dangerous physical conditions. If you are a business owner and your insurance company is refusing to pay you for the shutdown of your business, contact the attorneys at Lepley, Engelman, Yaw, and Wilk. We have years of experience dealing with insurance companies and know how they work. We will fight aggressively to get you the benefits you have paid for and deserve.
