COVID-19 Business Interruption Claims

The Hollywood Reporter has an article on COVID-19 business interruption claims, relying heavily on Tom Baker.  An excerpt:

According to the COVID-19 insurance litigation tracker, 85 percent of cases considered for dismissal in federal court get tossed, compared with 66 percent in state court. “The federal courts have largely gone for the insurance industry,” Baker says. “In state court, it’s been much more variable. That’s where the action is, because at the end of the day, these are state law questions.”
