Business Interruption Insurance Claims
Due to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, many businesses have suffered a devastating blow. New Jersey and Pennsylvania have stay-at-home orders enforced. Businesses around the country are experiencing interruptions too. Does business interruption insurance cover COVID-19 claims?
Business Interruption Insurance
The majority of businesses have insurance coverage in the event of an interruption. This policy provision reimburses losses due to covered interruptions. But, not all interruptions qualify for coverage.
Business Interruption Insurance Claims
Insurance companies are swarmed with business interruptions claims due to the novel coronavirus. Many claims get denied. But not all claims should be denied.
Virus And Bacteria Exclusion
Insurance is always looking for a way to exclude coverage. In many policies created after the SARS scare in 2006, there is a virus and bacteria exclusion. Insurance companies realized a virus might force business closures.
COVID-19 Business Interruption Coverage
Insurance companies will deny many interruption claims during the COVID-19 pandemic. But, some states are working to change that. States like New Jersey are working to force insurers to pay small businesses closed during the shutdown. Of course, insurance companies do not want this to happen.
