Business Insurance Attorneys On Your Side

Serving You & Your Business During Hard Times

Having your commercial property insurance claim denied or undervalued can have devastating effects on your business. Without access to the money you’re owed, damages can’t be repaired. This can limit your company’s ability to conduct business, resulting in loss of income, company layoffs, and perhaps even a full shut-down.

Your business insurance should work for you. And when it doesn’t, it’s important to have someone on your side who has the experience required to recover equitable compensation. The Law Offices of Michael B. Brehne, P.A., have over twenty years of experience helping business clients with bad faith claims against their insurance providers.

Commercial Property Insurance Coverage

Most insurance companies offer policy options to cover losses related to natural disasters such as hurricanes, flooding, fires, and destructive winds. You might even be covered in the event of theft or vandalism. There are several types of coverage available with different insurance agencies, but policies commonly cover the following issues.

• Property Damage: This can include buildings, fixtures, machines, furnishings, raw materials, and inventory related to the function of your business.
• Business Interruption: If the damages are so great that business cannot continue as normal, an insurance policy could provide funds for a set period of time to sustain the cost of business operations, payroll, and profits. An extended policy may be available to cover additional costs.
• Extra Expense: This can help offset expenses incurred as a result of mitigating business loss, such as moving the business until the property can be repaired, and may include equipment breakdown coverage.
• Payroll Coverage: Can help cover employee salaries for a set period of time while the business is closed.
• Loss Of Rents: Based on your rental agreement or lease, this could pay for lost income in a situation where a rental property becomes untenantable after a covered event.
• Utility Services: Protects against losses in the event of service interruption for utilities such as water, power, or communications.

If you’re unsure if your losses are covered under your insurance policy, an experienced insurance lawyer can help you navigate what’s included.
