Multidistrict COVID Business Interruption Case Against Society Insurance Advances
A federal judge in Chicago has denied Society Insurance’s motions to dismiss three “bellwether” lawsuits filed by hospitality businesses that were denied coverage for revenue lost because of COVID-19 public health orders.
U.S. District Judge Edmond Chang, who was assigned a consolidated case by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, rejected an argument that government orders that restricted the use of commercial property could not be considered a direct physical loss covered by the policies. None of the three insurance policies contained a virus exclusion, as most commercial property policies do.

A Chicago federal judge has rejected a bid by Society Insurance to toss a mountain of lawsuits filed by Billy Goat Tavern, Purple Pig, Lettuce Entertain You and other businesses hit hard by the pandemic, a departure from recent rulings in other courts that sided with insurance companies.
The Monday ruling gives hope to dozens of restaurants, bars and other businesses — including many in Chicago and its suburbs — whose claims for business interruption insurance were denied by the company after COVID-19 and government-mandated shutdowns forced them to close or severely curtail operations. Their cases can now move forward in court.

Chicago-area restaurants, including well-known names like the Billy Goat Tavern and Big Onion Tavern Group, won a significant legal victory late Monday with a federal judge’s rejection of a Wisconsin insurer’s motion to dismiss lawsuits demanding the company pay out pandemic-related claims for lost business.
U.S. District Court Judge Edmond Chang ruled against Fond du Lac-based Society Insurance’s position that its insurance policies didn’t cover business-interruption claims tied to governmental restrictions imposed on restaurants. Society is a relatively small mutual insurer that specializes in property coverage for bars and restaurants.

A new law took effect Aug. 28 in Missouri that exempts motorcycle riders who are at least 26 years old the requirement that all motorcyclists wear helmets. Riders who choose not to wear a helmet will need health insurance coverage. Under the new law, police can’t pull over motorcyclists just to check if they’re following helmet laws.
Rep. John M. Rogers, District 60, and Rep. Jeffrey Crossman, District 15, two Democratic state representatives in Ohio in April introduced a bill in the General Assembly that would require insurers that provide business interruption insurance to cover losses that arise from viruses and pandemics, regardless of whether their policies contain exclusions for such risks. House Bill 589 would have been in effect only during the state of emergency ordered by Gov. Mike DeWine on March 9, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
