Plant closure due to Corona
Many retail companies currently had to close their stores due to the Covid19 pandemic. Affected companies that have business closure insurance were initially somewhat "relieved". They thought that their financial loss could be cushioned somewhat by the business closure insurance.
Insurers try to evade their obligations
Currently, however, many insurance companies are trying to evade their obligation to pay. Policyholders are told that there is no insured event or that the question of whether an insured event actually exists is "highly questionable. The policyholders are therefore offered a "compromise solution", which usually provides for a payment of 10-25% of the contractually agreed claims.
