The financial losses businesses throughout the US continue to suffer as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic are unprecedented, with the true scope of loss yet to be realized. A high degree of uncertainty remains among business owners as to access to relief for COVID-19 related losses, including the availability of insurance coverage for loss of income under business interruption policies and other lines of insurance. The insurance industry has largely maintained that business interruption coverage is unavailable for COVID-19 related losses based on express policy terms and applicable exclusions. Pressure has been mounting on the insurance industry as a result of a growing number of lawsuits being filed against insurers, and further legislative actions being pursued at both the state and federal levels.

Join Saxe Doernberger & Vita's Richard W. Brown, Jeff Vita and Andres Avila for the upcoming Evolving Risks of COVID-19 webinar where you will learn the basics of insurance coverage, including particular lines of coverage implicated by COVID-19 and best practices for preparing and submitting claims. Lastly, the group will address the current landscape of insurance coverage litigation and the status of legislation being considered at the state and federal levels, which would compel insurers to provide coverage for COVID-19 related business interruption losses.
