From a weather disaster or global health crisis, many companies can experience 业务中断. As a result, businesses may look to leverage 业务中断 insurance.

Under most 业务中断 insurance policies, to file a claim the business must experience a physical loss or the damage must generally occur on the insured’s premises. Business interruption extensions such as contingent business income, 入口/出口, 失去吸引力, and even civil authority claims all require physical loss or damage by a covered peril.

Many property policies are subject to exclusions for pathogenic organisms, 病毒, and disease- or illness-causing agents, so a careful review of the policy is prudent.

LBMC partners with attorneys in three ways as part of the 业务中断 insurance claims filing 过程.

• 量化业务收入损失.
• Partner with the insurance company to address the specific claim.
• Provide litigation support and expert witness testimony.
