Insurance companies are resisting pandemic-related payouts. Let us help.
Business owners carry and pay for insurance to be able to use them. And, it is the insurance company obligations to pay for claims that have merit. Covid-19 and coronavirus has upended nearly all types of different businesses. Now, when it comes time to pay out legitimate claims for disruption of business, insurance companies are skirting their duties and obligations by wrongfully denying them outright, leaving businesses out to dry during an extremely difficult time.
The global COVID-19 pandemic and coronavirus has disrupted lives, livelihoods, and businesses. Further, it has caused tremendous damage to the local, state and national economies. Public officials have ordered all “non-essential” business to shut down, creating an overwhelming number of issues for business owners including financial and logistical. With the government order and direction to close, business owners and entrepreneurs of restaurants, retail shops, non-emergency medical services, and many other companies, businesses, entrepreneurs, and proprietors are now fighting for their survival.
We hold insurance companies accountable.

This is a worst-case scenario. It is also precisely why these business owners, entrepreneurs, and proprietors have purchased insurance policies and paid their premiums over prior months, years, and decades. However, many insurance companies are further compounding the COVID-19 and coronavirus financial tragedy by denying the business owners’ legitimate claims for payments. The insurance companies are turning their backs on these business owners. It is not right. And it is unfair.
We can fight for your business.
Gate and Bridge LLC, along with the high profile law firm Romanucci & Blandin, and insurance policyholder experts Rutter & Russin, LLC, and Spangenberg, Shibley & Liber, LLP are collaborating to support restaurant, retail and other business owners offset their devastating financial losses and seek payments rightfully due from their insurance companies for business interruption losses.
Legal action on behalf of these business owners does not question the necessity of the business closures nor criticize political leaders for ordering them, but rather demands the insurance company meet their contractual obligation for which they have been paid by these responsible business owners.
Insurance companies were more than willing to accept the premium payments when times were good. Now, it is imperative that they meet their contractual obligations
We are seeing many insurance companies deny these pandemic-related claims, which is not only disturbing but downright wrong. Almost all business insurance policies include business interruption coverage, providing compensation if your business is halted or significantly slowed by a covered act and sustains damages.
