| First, we hope that each of you remains healthy and well, as we navigate the uncharted territory that we find ourselves in as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As we all know, the pandemic has led to massive government shutdowns of an enormous number of businesses, imposing a devastating impact on businesses across our country. Restaurants have been among the hardest hit. Restaurants and other businesses typically have insurance policies in place. A restaurant's insurance policy often includes coverage for, among other issues, business interruption losses. Business interruption insurance allows a business to receive coverage for losses it suffers due to property damage and other reasons enumerated in the policy. One cause of business interruption that is often included in such policies is for circumstances where the business interruption is caused by "government interference." Notwithstanding having done the right thing by purchasing and paying for business interruption insurance, many businesses are now finding that, when they most need that insurance, the insurance companies are denying coverage. Navigating the particulars of business interruption coverage, presents an intense and complicated undertaking for any business owner. Tamari Law Group is prepared to assist business owners facing the additional obstacle of fighting insurance companies for the coverage that they deserve. If you, or any of your friends or family members, have encountered difficulty obtaining coverage through an insurance policy for the business interruption losses imposed by a shutdown order related to the COVID-19 pandemic, please reach out. Our firm is prepared to fight insurance companies to ensure that businesses, especially restaurants, receive the coverage for the losses that they have suffered. |
