Steven Badger Quoted in Claims Journal re: Insurers’ Early Wins in COVID-19 Business-Interruption Suits

October 1, 2020

Steven Badger, a partner in the Dallas office of Zelle, was quoted in a Claims Journal article titled “Insurers Chalking More Early Wins in COVID-19 Business-Interruption Suits.”

Badger was quoted discussing recent successes by insurers in winning dismissals of COVID-19 business-interruption lawsuits in 17 out of 23 cases heard so far, with these judges finding that some tangible alteration of a property is required to trigger coverage under commercial property policies.   Badger stated: “No one expected every court in the country to grant all of these early motions to dismiss,” but that there is an “obvious trend showing that in the vast majority of these cases there was no credible argument for coverage.”
