How We Can Help


In many ways we are seeing unprecedented court filings and debates across the country regarding the role of the state and the role of insurance companies in situations where businesses are forced to close down as a whole for the good of public health. The outcomes are not always clear as the language of many insurance policies often describe qualified business interruption claims as needing "physical loss". It's also difficult to parse out the governments responsibility to businesses when it is the very government policies that are directly responsible for these mandatory closures.

This is where an organization like Lawyer One can step in and help. We work with individual lawyers in your area that have experience dealing with these exact situations. An attorney is needed who is up-to-date with the latest local rulings and one who can argue the merits of your claim in order to maximize results.

Business Interruption Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does Covid-19 qualify as a business interruption?
This is a heavily debated issue at the moment as many insurers are pushing back claiming business interruption coverage is for "physical loss" which is not applicable for something such as Covid-19. The results have so far been mixed with many insurers and businesses having to come to the table and negotiate a reasonable settlement. This is why an attorney can be crucial during this process as the situation can sometimes become contentious, confusing and possibly require negotiation at certain stages. Understandably, these occurances can take a tole on a business owner who is just looking to keep their business going and re-coup reasonable losses.
What is a business interruption claim?
A business interruption claim is typically a claim to a business insurance provider requesting funds to re-coup losses amounted from a qualifying business interruption event.
How many businesses file these claims?
Business interruption insurance is common for many businesses and in some cases may be mandatory. The American Property and Casualty Insurance Association estimates that recent events are costing businesses with fewer than 500 employees in the country an estimated $393 to $668 billion per month so you are not in a unique situation. Thousands of business interruption claims are being filed as more and more businesses are affected by this national crisis.

What states support business interruption claims?

Every state supports business interruption claims from valid insurance providers. In regards to Covid-19 this is a more difficult matter as the validity of the claim is still being worked out amongst our government branches. What started out being a judicial issue has moved into our legislative branch with multiple bills being introduced at the state and federal level. As of mid 2020, eight states have introduced bills to clarify the handling of Covid-19 as it pertains to business interruption claims. The executive branch has also made remarks on the matter in support of business claims looking for compensation due to Covid-19 interruption.

For now the landscape is very foggy with many passionate advocates debating the issue on every side of the table. It is extremely important for business owners looking to file a claim to have a full grasp of the situation and to maintain consistent attention on the evolving opportunities and challenges arising due to judgements and new legislation.

How can Congress help?

We've already witnessed the nation's largest economic stimulus flow into many of the country's largest institutions and some to help individuals. Small business stimulus has occured in pockets of the United States and we are likely to see federal action taken to help small businesses in the future during these difficult times.

Congress has the power to implement sweeping changes whether it be from legislating long term payment plans, debt foregiveness, claim compensation or tax deductions. At this time it's difficult to predict exactly what will come around the corner. If you need an attorney who can keep you informed and navigate the business interruption claim waters please consider contacting Lawyer One so we can match you with the best lawyer available for your claim.
