What Do Commercial Property Insurance Policies Cover?
Your commercial property insurance may reportedly cover a wide range of claims such as the following, but when a loss occurs, the insurer may find loopholes to refuse to cover certain types of damage.
- Roof, ceiling and other major damage caused by tornadoes, hurricanes, windstorms and other weather events
- Office equipment, tools and other high-value physical items on the property
- Business records, computers and other contents of a commercial property that store and protect account information and other key collections of vital business materials
- Service disruptions from data hacks, government shutdowns and other occurrences out of your control
- Maintenance, repair and operating (MRO) supplies
- Raw materials, work in progress and finished goods
An insurance policy is essentially a large contract between the insurer and the insured. Problems may arise when an insurance company refuses to honor its own policy terms regarding such losses.
What About Business Interruption Coverage?
Controversies often arise over business interruption coverage. Some insurers of commercial property build in exclusions for this type of loss. Others may seem to be purposely vague about such losses until a claim occurs; then they refuse to cover the loss. After a verifiably serious business interruption (caused by civil unrest or local government actions, for example), coverage disputes may develop. Our law firm takes insurers to task when they act in bad faith.
