A Word About Business Interruption Claims From Vandalism, Riot And Civil Commotion

The death of George Floyd is a national tragedy that should never have happened. The winds of change are in the air and we can only hope that peace, understanding, justice and fairness for all will prevail.

That brings us to insurance.

There have been many articles discussing whether and how the business losses arising from the vandalism and looting will be covered under insurance policies.

Because these losses took place during the novel coronavirus pandemic, the insurance coverage issues have become more complex. This is particularly true for business interruption claims.
