Events Covered by Business Interruption Insurance

Business interruption insurance promises to compensate the insured for any income that is lost during the period of interruption. This interruption must result from some kind of disaster, natural or otherwise.

Examples of business interruptions include:

• Natural disasters, such as hurricanes or tornados
• Fires
• Government directives that require temporary business closures
• Serious accidents
• Strikes
• Supplier failures
• Terrorism

As you can see, if the government forces a business to close against the owner’s will, business interruption insurance should apply. However, insurance companies will often do whatever they can to avoid having to pay out, even when you have a reasonable claim.

Will My Insurance Cover Damages Caused by COVID-19?

State and federal orders enforcing social distancing and sheltering in place have forced widespread business closures and lost revenue throughout Texas and the rest of the United States. Because the government’s actions have caused businesses to face unprecedented financial hardships, your insurance company should be willing to comply with your insurance claim if you file because of COVID-19.

Yet, insurance companies all over the country have refused to acknowledge COVID-19 as an eligible excuse to claim insurance. An insurance agent may even try to convince you that pandemics are not covered by their business interruption policies at all.

The attorneys at the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C. refuse to stand idly by while insurance companies attempt to bully businesses into bankruptcy. Whether your claim has been denied due to the coronavirus or something else, we can help you deal with a wrongful business interruption insurance claim denial.
