Have you had your Business Interruption Insurance Claim rejected due to Coronavirus? You may still be able to make a claim against your insurer. Read on to find out how to check if you have a claim.
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted thousands of New Zealand businesses, many of whom were forced to stop operations causing serious financial strain and hardship. Although these businesses held Business Interruption insurance, many insurers have advised clients that their policy does not include cover for losses suffered as a result of COVID-19, due to various Pandemic Exclusion wordings or Infectious Disease exclusion clauses. However, this is not a one size fits all response. It’s important to note that every policy has a different clauses, and you may actually have cover under your Business Interruption Policy.
