i think the first thing that business
00:06
owners need to do
00:07
is have a lawyer review that policy
00:11
that it needs to be done immediately
00:13
some have been hesitant because they
00:15
they have been told by their agent that
00:18
they don’t think there’s coverage
00:20
i do believe there’s a bit of a conflict
00:22
when your agent
00:23
who is also working with the insurance
00:25
carrier tells you that that there’s no
00:27
coverage
00:28
i would disregard that and have an
00:31
attorney
00:32
look at your policy determine if there
00:35
is
00:35
a virus exclusion which is is one of the
00:37
big questions in covid
00:39
many of these policies upwards of 80
00:41
percent
00:42
of the policies across the country have
00:45
a an exclusion
00:46
for a virus that needs to be fleshed out
00:50
and determined early on
00:51
if there is no virus exclusion i think
00:54
in all probability
00:55
i’ve now looked at probably 500
00:57
different policies from
00:59
30 different carriers across the country
01:01
i believe the strength of these cases
01:03
is based on the policy language that
01:05
needs to be reviewed immediately
