Insurance Coverage And The Baltimore Riots

The unrest in Baltimore over the death of Freddie Gray has resulted in some of the worst urban rioting the US has seen in recent years: shops were looted, car windows smashed, police officers injured and local businesses burned to the ground during a night of outrage at what some are describing as widespread police brutality. The rioting was so great, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan declared a state of emergency and a curfew for the city Monday night — actions that raise questions on just how personal and commercial insurance claims filed in the wake of the disaster will be handled.
