What Are Some Common Causes of Business Interruption?
Business interruption insurance covers the cost of lost profits caused by a covered event; an unfortunate but all too common occurrence for businesses of all sizes. It is often followed by emotional trauma, loss of income, foundational damage, and much more. During a time like this, fighting your insurance provider to get the compensation you deserve should be the last thing on your list of priorities. That’s why you need to work with public adjuster services.Some of the most common causes of business interruption include:
- Natural disasters (floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, windstorms, hail, or gales)
- Theft, vandalism, or malicious mischief
- Fire and lighting damages
- Losses incurred due to explosions
- Accidents (e.g., broken equipment or structural damage)
- Any vehicle damage
Besides these, business interruption insurance also covers the following:
- Loss of business income (the amount of net profit you lost).
- Extra expense incurred (any amount you spent out of your own pocket to get your business back on track).
- Equipment breakdown or machine failure.
- Business personal property (such as furniture or fixtures that are part of your business’s assets).
- Loss of use

How Will I Get the Most Compensation for My Business Interruption Claim?
If you have been affected by a business interruption, the insurance company will likely want to know what happened to your business. The more information you can provide, the better compensation you can secure.
The first thing to do is make sure that you are aware of when and how your business was affected. Did a fire break out at your property? Did an earthquake cause damage or destroy inventory? Was a theft or robbery committed on your property? These are all examples of circumstances that could cause your business interruption claim to be denied.
Next, gather as much evidence as possible about the circumstances surrounding your business interruption claim. Take pictures of any damages, write down all of the details about the incident—and anything else that might help demonstrate just how bad things were—and keep receipts for any expenses related to recovery efforts.
