COVID-19 Business Losses May Be Covered by Insurance
May 18, 2020 | Category: COVID-19 Claims | ShareMany businesses have business interruption insurance, also known as business income insurance. This insurance covers businesses after a disaster has caused a loss of income. Generally, the income loss can be due to a disaster-related closing of a business or the rebuilding process after a disaster.
Business interruption insurance policies may contain specific language related to the business or circumstances. In order to find out if a business loss caused by COVID-19 is covered, an analysis of the policy should be done by an experienced legal team.
Insurance companies often try to avoid paying business interruption claims. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they have been denying the payment of some claims, even when businesses are under emergency orders to shut down.
A denial by an insurance company does not mean the coverage is non-existent for COVID-19-related losses. It is standard practice for insurance companies to first deny claims. It is important to obtain a review of your policy and business situation to determine if you qualify under your business interruption insurance policy.
