With the closures and restrictions that many businesses have faced, especially restaurants and bars, these business owners may be wondering if there is anything that can help them. A recent court case in Hamilton County may have implications for other Ohio businesses.
Lawsuit filed against Cincinnati Insurance
A Hamilton County judge refused to dismiss a lawsuit filed by a restaurant against Cincinnati Insurance. The restaurant claims that their business should be covered by the insurance agency due to the losses they faced during COVID. The restaurant says it has a comprehensive insurance policy with broad coverage through Cincinnati Insurance and that viruses are not excluded from their policy. Their attorney is intending on forming a class action lawsuit with dozens of other Ohio businesses that are insured by Cincinnati Insurance. The restaurant believes they have suffered physical loss or damage by the pandemic and want a jury to decide if that is the case instead of the insurance company.
