Resulting Business Interruption Damage

Many companies may see their business stopped for the short or long term due to the damage not only to the beaches but through the oil pollution under the surface of the water throughout the fishing beds of the Gulf of Mexico.

As a result, businesses and properties, that depend on the Gulf of Mexico, the fishing lanes and the beaches will suffer serious financial injuries. Those who are expected to suffer damages include:
• Individuals and companies in oyster, fishing, and shrimping industries, including fishermen, processors, and packers
 

• Owners and operators of docks and marinas
• Owners of commercial and private boats
• Owners of waterfront properties
• Owners and operators of restaurants that are on the water or depend on fresh seafood
 

These losses may be covered by your property insurance, but it is likely that many such claims will be delayed, disputed or denied.
