EXPERT WITNESS SPECIALTY INDEX

Property Insurance Expert Witnesses

Many businesses that are suffering losses secondary to COVID-19 are finding their insurance carriers won’t cover property insurance claims resulting from the pandemic—namely, business interruption claims. Because the coronavirus is so novel, proving claims of bad faith related to COVID-19 will require the support of a highly-qualified property insurance expert witness. 

An expert in property insurance can discuss:

  • Policy coverage and exclusions
  • Limitations of business interruption coverage
  • The stakes of semantic contract omissions
  • How business interruption coverage relates to commercial property, business owners, and commercial package policies
  • Conditions for civil authority coverage and virus exclusions
