Business Interruption Claims Attorneys
When a storm, fire, or other disaster forces your business to close its doors, the financial impact can be immediate and overwhelming. Rent, payroll, utilities, and other operating expenses continue even when revenue stops.

We Handle Business Interruption Claims for All Types of Losses
Every business interruption claim is unique. We work with companies of all sizes—from small local operations to large commercial properties—helping them recover losses caused by:
- Hurricanes, tornadoes, and severe storms
- Fire, smoke, or lightning damage

- Structural collapse or unsafe building conditions
- Mold or contamination requiring property closure
- Utility interruptions or access restrictions
- Delays in reconstruction or repairs due to insurer disputes
Our attorneys analyze every detail of your policy to determine what losses are covered and fight to ensure you receive the compensation your business truly deserves.
Why Business Interruption Claims Are Often Disputed
Insurance carriers frequently challenge business interruption claims because they involve complex calculations and large financial exposure. Common tactics include:
- Narrowing Coverage: Arguing that certain causes, such as flooding or government-ordered closures, aren’t covered events.
- Disputing Lost Revenue: Claiming projected income figures are inflated or speculative.
- Delaying Documentation Requests: Repeatedly asking for unnecessary financial records to stall payment.
- Limiting the “Period of Restoration”: Stopping payments before repairs or rebuilds are realistically complete.
- Blaming Business Conditions: Suggesting pre-existing financial decline rather than the covered event caused the loss.
At Broussard Dove, we understand how these claims are structured and how insurers manipulate policy language to minimize payouts. Our attorneys partner with accountants, forensic analysts, and business valuation experts to present clear, evidence-based claims that stand up to scrutiny.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does business interruption insurance cover?
It typically covers lost profits, ongoing expenses, and certain extra costs (like renting temporary space) when your business must close due to a covered property loss.
How long will my policy pay for business interruption?
Most policies cover the “period of restoration,” which lasts until the property can reasonably resume operations. Insurers often try to cut this short, but we fight to extend coverage through full recovery.
What if my insurer says the closure wasn’t caused by physical damage?
That’s a common denial strategy. We can review your policy to determine whether your interruption qualifies under direct physical loss, contamination, or access restriction provisions.
How much does it cost to hire Broussard Dove?
There are no upfront fees. We work on a contingency basis, meaning we only get paid when you do.
