WHY YOUR BUSINESS INSURANCE POLICY COULD COVER COVID SHUTDOWNS

Program produced by XPX New England

Business Interruption Insurance and COVID-19:

In this program you’ll learn:

  • If a business was closed by government order, its losses may be covered.
  • Contrary to insurance industry messaging, there can be insurance coverage for losses suffered due to the government shutdown and stay-home orders.
  • Virus or pandemic exclusions will generally not apply to most claims for business losses.
  • “Civil Authority” and “Dependent Property” coverage is often found in many commercial policies and could provide another path to coverage.
  • Recoverable losses typically include net profit or loss before taxes that would have been earned plus continuing expenses including payroll and sometimes “extra expenses”.
  • Steps you need to take to determine whether Business Interruption Insurance applies to a business’s losses.
