Just like your business would rely on fire insurance to cover structural losses and flood insurance to cover water damage, you should be able to rely on business interruption insurance to cover the financial expenses and losses that accompany natural disasters and sudden closures.
Compile Important Documents That Support Your Claim
Support your claim and equip your lawyer with the tools and documents they need to build a successful claim for financial compensation from your insurance carrier.
Some documents your lawyer may request to help support your claim might include:
- A detailed copy of your full insurance policy and any relevant riders
- Copies of any and all correspondence between your business and its insurer
- Income and loss statements for your business
- Payroll records and relevant financial spreadsheets
Be prepared to share any and all COVID-19-related paperwork and reports with your lawyer to bolster your claim and prove your loss of income and other damaging effects of COVID-19 on your company. Accurate calculations and a thorough understanding of your policy are important parts of your business interruption claim.
