This program will begin with a brief overview of typical pollution insurance policies and then discuss how policies define “pollution” and whether COVID-19 fits within those definitions. We will discuss potential obstacles to coverage, including whether or not policies require proof that the virus was present and how government shut-down orders impact potential coverage. We will also discuss mitigation/prevention coverage. Throughout, we will examine the types of losses that businesses have experienced and how those different losses may or may not be covered. We will conclude with a general discussion about COVID-19 insurance coverage litigation, including current class action initiatives
Key topics to be discussed:
• How pollution policy coverage ties to the definition of “pollutant” and the extent to which COVID-19 is included
• Types of losses that may be covered including first and third party
• Potential challenges to coverage depending on policy terms
• Potential coverage for expenses to prevent COVID-19 losses
