Business Interruption Coverage
Business Interruption coverage is contained in most first-party commercial property insurance and is meant to provide coverage where there is a suspension of business caused by direct physical loss to the property. Such policies also contain a “Civil Authority” provision, which typically states that the insurer will pay business income losses caused by the action of civil authority that prohibits access to the described premises due to direct physical loss of or damage to property, other than the described premises, caused by or resulting from a Covered Cause of Loss. (See ISO Form CP 15 08 10 00.) The Civil Authority provision often comes into play during catastrophic events, natural disasters, and times of civil unrest.
