Small Business Insurance Claims Amid Coronavirus Pandemic

Global health and safety concerns amid the coronavirus pandemic are causing a complete disruption and impediment to what many considered “normal life” just weeks ago. As New Orleans and more cities and states across the U.S. experience and prepare for lockdowns and stay-at-home orders, the economic costs of the coronavirus pandemic are undisputable.In some states with more cases, such as Louisiana, New York and California, nonessential businesses have been ordered to close until further notice.

The Financial Impact

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “the best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus.” The organization has recommended that individuals practice social distancing and stay home if they or a member of their household is feeling sick.

Due to this fact, many individuals have no choice but to remain home instead of going out to eat or participate in activities outside of their homes. While this is no doubt the best choice to avoid catching the virus, businesses are suffering from losses due to fewer and fewer paying customers.

To prevent further possible spread, some businesses are choosing to shut their doors until further notice; others are only doing to-go orders only or limiting hours of operation, with many making far less money than they normally would. Unfortunately, this means that businesses that are simply doing their part in preventing the spread of COVID-19 are being greatly impacted themselves.

What Insurance May Cover

If your business suffered losses due to the spread of coronavirus, you may be entitled to receive insurance payments in order to get your losses covered. Insurance is a tool that can be used to compensate for losses in times of damaging financial events.
