(314) 500-HURTFighting for Victims of Insurance Business Interruption
Business interruption is a serious and immediate concern for all businesses. Unfortunately, insurance companies are taking the position that COVID-19 and unexpected work reduction is not covered by business interruption insurance.
Burger Law offers free consultations to clients that have been denied business interruption claims by their insurance company. Help us help you protect your business and workers. Your insurance company will never pay on this claim without legal help. This is likely significant to you and your business. Business owners pay premiums for years and then have their claims improperly denied.
Insurance companies are denying these claims. Improperly so. They assert the pandemic is not causing directly causing “physical loss, damage or expense,” is not “Government Action.” You may even have Civil Authority coverage or Communicable Disease Coverage, but are still being denied. We are well versed in battling Insurance companies for their improper denials of claims and have a long history of winning in these claims.

Businesses that are forced to suspend operations or cut hours rely on cooperation with their insurers. As of May 2020, most businesses are making sacrifices. Hours are decreased, staff are furloughed, and clientele may be non-existent. However, businesses that have insurance policies to cover payroll, overhead costs, rent, business income, other essential business costs and expenses, are struggling to collect payment from their insurers.
Contact Burger Law now if you have filed for a business interruption claim and were ignored or rejected. These are odd times, and having additional financial pressure is a lose-lose for everyone. Our firm is here to review your case and help you secure your business’ future.
Business interruption policies typically cover any event that leads to lost business income, unexpected expenses, and other tragedies. This includes earthquakes, fires, theft, falling objects, and other circumstances that could cause a business to lose income or relocate.
These policies are designed to act fast in emergencies (i.e. natural disasters). While social distancing, businesses transitioning to remote work, and other health issues have developed slowly over the past few months, and the effects may not seem immediate, they have put a serious burden on many industries. Restaurants, service-based work, construction, retailers, and other companies have struggled to meet payroll and operational requirements.
