Sauder Schelkopf is representing small businesses that have been denied business interruption insurance coverage related to the COVID-19 pandemic.  Numerous insurers have routinely rejected coronavirus-related business interruption insurance claims. The coverage was generally designed to replace lost income where the insured’s premises has been damaged or a civil authority shut down the surrounding area.  Insurance companies have taken the position that these policies never promised this kind of coverage.  Sauder Schelkopf, and co-counsel, recently filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of a local hair salon against Hartford Underwriters Insurance for a denial of business insurance coverage.
