COVID-19 LEGAL UPDATE – BUSINESS INTERRUPTION INSURANCE LITIGATION AND RELATED LEGISLATION
April 7, 2020
In response to many state and local governments issuing civil orders directing the mandatory shut down of commercial activity deemed non-essential or non-life sustaining, Eckert Seamans has published an article on business interruption coverage and related legislation, which is available here. The article discusses business interruption coverage, which is designed to protect businesses from lost revenue, which may result from a natural disaster, emergency or other devastating event, and its potential application during the COVID-19 epidemic. The article also discusses potential state legislation which will seek to insure such coverage for claims related to the COVID-19 epidemic. Any business with questions or concerns about business interruption insurance should contact us to review any potential coverage.
