Business Interruption Coverage and Bad Faith Claims Dismissed
In the case of Round Guys Brewing Co. v. Cincinnati Ins. Co., No. CV-20-6252 (E.D. Pa. Sept. 22, 2021 Sanchez, J.), the court found that no coverage was due in this COVID-19 business loss coverage case.
After finding no coverage due, the court also dismissed the Plaintiff’s claim for bad faith after noting that the carrier’s position in denying coverage in this case was widely supported by the case law. As such, the court noted that the carrier’s denial of coverage in this business interruption coverage case was reasonable and that the Plaintiff had failed to adequately plead the elements of a bad faith claim.

I send thanks to Attorney Lee Applebaum of the Philadelphia law firm of Fineman Krekstein & Harris and the writer of the excellent Pennsylvania New Jersey Insurance Bad Faith Case Law blog for bringing this case to my attention.
