In this brief podcast, Mr. Lambert discusses how policyholders can draw support from government directives and court decisions arising from the pandemic to show that âphysical loss or damageâ has occurred, triggering coverage under their property policies. He examines one of the first legal decisions related specifically to this pandemic, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision in Friends of DeVito v. Wolf, and explains how this decision and other governmental orders provide useful insight into how courts might equate this situation to other, more well-traveled areas of the law.
Policyholders should continue to consult the terms of the policies, document any property damage and loss of income traceable to the pandemic, and consult with their brokers and legal professionals regarding the advisability of making a claim for insurance coverage. Brouse McDowell's Insurance Recovery Practice is here to help. We have been at the forefront of legal developments in insurance for more than 30 years, including leading critical amicus efforts in federal and state courts. Our attorneys advise policyholders in navigating insurance claims of all types to maximize net recovery, from claim submission through the resolution of disputes in litigation.

In this episode, we will highlight the claims data for 2018 and identify the claims trends and insurance coverage issues to be discussed in future episodes.
