Key Takeaways

• Keep your options open for insurance coverage. Don’t just assume that this is not covered.
• Track your loss(es). Think broadly and account for the impact on your business. You may need this for your insurance claim(s) later.
• Read your insurance policies or ask an insurance professional to do that for you. Know what you have.
• If you have a potentially covered loss, put your carrier(s) on notice. Follow the policy instructions.
• Read the insurer’s response carefully, and don’t accept a denial without having an insurance professional review it.
