Question during COVID:
"IS THERE ANY COVERAGE FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS INCOME IF I HAVE TO SHUT DOWN? The general rule is: before loss of business income responds, there must be damage to your property leading to the cessation of a business. This requirement applies to business income-dependent property losses (your supply chain) and civil authority losses, covered by business income policies.
Additionally, there is a specific property exclusion applicable to viruses that may (generally will) apply. This is true of “standard" business income forms which are used by most insurance companies in the US.
Most businesses that are suspending operations are doing so based on the policy of social distancing, to contain or mitigate against the spread of COVID-19 by limiting social contacts.
The vast majority of businesses suspending operations are not doing so due to the coronavirus causing physical damage to the building. We are generally confronting circumstances where operations are being suspended as a means of preventing infected individuals from transmitting COVID-19 to other individuals. So is there coverage for loss of income? The short answer is, most likely “NO”. BUT as with any coverage question, THE POLICY LANGUAGE WILL DETERMINE IF A CLAIM IS COVERED.
If you have questions or need assistance, please give us a call and your APA Insurance team will be happy to assist you. --
