Introduction
When your business faces an unexpected closure, it can feel like your entire operation is at risk. Revenue halts, expenses pile up, and reopening may seem like an uphill battle. Thankfully, business interruption insurance exists to protect businesses from such disruptions. However, filing a business interruption claim can be complex, and that's where JPA Claims and Saleh Josephson step in to help.
This article will guide you through the essentials of business interruption claims, common causes of disruptions, the challenges you may face, and how JPA Claims, partnered with expert public adjuster Saleh Josephson, can ensure you receive fair compensation.
What Is a Business Interruption Claim?
Business interruption insurance is designed to cover financial losses when unforeseen events halt your business operations. It compensates you for lost income and ongoing operational expenses during the downtime. Here's what this insurance typically covers:
-
Lost Income from temporary closures
-
Ongoing Expenses such as rent, utilities, and payroll
-
Relocation Costs if your business needs to temporarily relocate
-
Additional Expenses incurred while restoring operations
However, insurance companies often challenge business interruption claims, disputing the extent of losses or denying coverage altogether. This makes it essential to have experts like JPA Claims and Saleh Josephson on your side.
​
Common Causes of Business Interruption
Numerous scenarios can lead to business interruptions. Here are the most common causes that may qualify for compensation through business interruption insurance:
-
Water Damage: Floods, burst pipes, and leaks requiring business shutdowns
-
Fire & Smoke Damage: Structural damage or air quality issues halting operations
-
Storm Damage: Hurricanes, tornadoes, or hail disrupting business functions
-
Earthquakes & Structural Collapse: Severe damage necessitating extensive repairs
-
Vandalism & Theft: Property damage or stolen inventory affecting revenue
-
Government-Mandated Shutdowns: Health and safety orders (e.g., pandemic-related closures)
Understanding the cause of your business interruption is the first step in claiming compensation.
