Frequently Asked Questions about Business Interruption Insurance in South Florida

What triggers business interruption insurance coverage?

Although different policies vary in their language, most business interruption insurance policies are intended to provide coverage for lost income for a business during the period that it is non-operational as a result of property damage, damage to customers’ facilities, damage to suppliers’ facilities, or government action. Each of these triggers may have specific exclusions, so it is important that you go over your policy’s language with an experienced business interruption insurance attorney.

Can I still file for business interruption insurance coverage by the time I am back in operations?

Typically yes. Although most business interruption insurance policies require that your operations be shut down for a minimum consecutive period in order to trigger coverage (often as short as 72 hours), so long as you experienced a shutdown of the required length, you can still file a claim for coverage of your lost profits even if you’ve managed to open back up by the time you file your claim.
