Business Interruption Claims
Business interruption coverage is  that insurance covering the loss of income as a result of a covered  loss. To recover damages for a business interruption  claim, it must be shown that the insured suffered physical damage to  the insured property caused by a covered peril, resulting in an  interruption of the business that causes actual monetary loss or loss  of business income. In addition, it must be established that  the loss of income occurred during the "period of restoration"  defined by the policy. Finally, the insured cannot recover  anything in excess of the actual loss sustained as it is intended to  provide the insured the amount of profit it would have earned but for  the interruption. Coverage for loss of business income is  available under both a business interruption coverage provision, and  under a contingent business interruption provision of a policy.
  
Extra Expense Claims

Extra expense coverage compensates an insured business for those extra expenses incurred due an insured loss that the business incurred to in an effort to minimize the suspension of its business and to continue its operations. Compensable expenses may include the cost to minimize the suspension of business at the insured premises or at a temporary location, and may include those costs necessary to restock the business to continue its operations and avoid a loss of market share or clientele.

If your insurer has failed to honor its promise and has delayed payment, denied your claim, asserted a lack of coverage, attempted to pay less than the claim’s true value or has, in any manner, adjusted the claim improperly, call the attorneys at Pilka & Associates. We can help make your business whole again.
