About Business Interruption Claims
Business interruption coverage pays for lost net income, ongoing fixed expenses (rent, payroll, utilities), and extra expenses incurred while your business is restored. The challenge is that these calculations require detailed financial analysis, and insurers have strong incentives to minimize the period of indemnity and dispute income projections.
Our team reviews your financial records, analyzes your pre-loss business performance, accounts for seasonal trends and growth trajectories, and builds a business interruption loss calculation that accurately reflects what your business would have earned but for the covered property damage. We counter insurer lowballs with documented financial evidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is business interruption loss calculated?
BI loss is generally calculated as lost net income plus ongoing fixed expenses that continue during the closure, for the period required to restore the property. We use your actual financial records and project forward based on historical trends.
My business has partially reopened. Can I still claim business interruption?
Yes. If you are operating at reduced capacity due to covered property damage, you may be entitled to BI coverage for the reduced income during the period you cannot fully operate.
