Business, Interrupted

Business, Interrupted: How Jenkins Law Can Help With Your Business Interruption Policy Claim

It’s easy to see why many businesses choose to take out business interruption insurance. These policies cover the loss of income that a business suffers after a disaster. It’s different from property insurance, since that only covers the physical damage to the business, whereas the additional coverage of business interruption insurance covers the profits that would have been earned. Business interruption insurance is designed to put a business in the same financial position it would be in if no losses occurred. 

Denied, delayed or undervalued

Now, imagine you or a family member have a claim that’s denied, delayed or undervalued. This is the upsetting reality for many people, as many business owners are experiencing a refusal to respond to claims for loss of income and continuing operating expenses. In these times that we’re living through, the next wave of litigation is going to be business interruption claims. 

It appears that insurers are taking a firm line globally on the extent to which businesses can expect to be indemnified for their losses from Covid-19. With the prospect of widespread closures extending to small businesses and retail, this is understandably causing increased frustration within the business community. 

Closer to home, Florida insurance companies have experienced adjusters and attorneys working on their side to help them save as much as they can. 

In the event that a dispute arises on the conditions required to secure indemnity, legal action may be required to compel performance of the contract of insurance or compensate businesses.
