Coronavirus business interruption battle pits business lobby against itself

Small businesses trying to get their state legislatures to force insurance companies to cover coronavirus losses are coming up against an opponent many might not have expected: The U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

“Bankrupting the insurance industry wouldn’t help the situation at all,” said Tom Quaadman, an executive vice president at the Chamber. Yet, as businesses shuttered by government orders reviewed their insurance policies, they discovered the fine print excludes claims for viruses, or bacteria. Chubb is a prominent member of the U.S. Chamber and of its Institute for Legal Reform, a lobbying wing that seeks to crack down on lawsuits against businesses.

“You have people that have never asked for business interruption insurance and they have been paying a lot of money for a lot of years for the privilege of having it and then when they finally need it, the insurance company says ‘We’re not going to give it,’ ” Trump told reporters. “We can’t let that happen.”

“They’ve paid these premiums for all-risk policies for millions and millions of dollars and then when you need to make a claim, [the insurers] cut and run,” said Burrage, who was appointed by President Bill Clinton as the first Native American federal judge. “That’s not fair,”Small businesses also have turned to their state insurance commissioners after being denied claims.

The first was introduced by New Jersey Assemblyman Roy Freiman, a Democrat, who drew backlash from insurers worried about bankrupting their funds. Seven other states followed suit: Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and South Carolina.

How can you have an article on this with no mention of the personal injury law firms that are the ones instigating these claims ? A great many of them completely frivolous ?
