What Is a Business Interruption Claim?
Business interruption insurance is one of the most vital types of business insurance coverage options there is, equally as important as property insurance. Business interruption insurance is used to compensate a business owner for losses suffered as a result of having to close their business because of a disaster, such as a fire or an act of terrorism. Typically, this type of insurance covers actual monetary losses sustained, such as business income, as well as extra expenses that were incurred as a result of the covered peril. In many cases, business interruption insurance only applies during the “period of restoration” following a suspension of business activity caused by actual physical loss to the building. If you’re not sure whether or not your coverage applies as a result of business closure because of COVID-19, call us directly.

-
Business interruption insurance generally covers lost business income, extra expenses incurred to continue operations, rental or lease payments, taxes, payroll, and loan payments during the suspension period. Coverage specifics depend on the policy language and the nature of the disruption.
-
Coverage depends on the exact terms of the policy. Many insurers argue that coverage applies only when there is “direct physical loss or damage” to property, while some policies contain endorsements that may apply to virus-related shutdowns. A legal review is often necessary to determine whether COVID-19-related losses qualify.
-
You should immediately request a written explanation, review your policy with an attorney, gather documentation of your losses, and consider appealing the denial. Many denials stem from misinterpretation or bad-faith handling by the insurer, which can be challenged.
-
An attorney can interpret complex policy language, calculate damages accurately, compile supporting evidence, communicate with the insurer, pursue appeals, negotiate settlements, and file litigation if necessary. Legal representation often significantly improves the likelihood of a successful claim.
