    Restaurant Property Damage Claims

    In 2018, over $150 million in property damage claims was paid out to Restaurants in Florida.
    Since Fires predominantly start in the kitchen area, it’s important to take all steps necessary to minimize these losses. A restaurant can do the following for prevention of fires:

    • Keep kitchen equipment clean
    • Provide employee training on equipment, care, and prevention
    • Install smoke alarms, sprinkler systems, and fire extinguishers

    One of the other claims that restaurants deals with is called Business Interruption. If there is a fire or hurricane, there is a good chance electricity will be suspended, restaurant will be closed, and food will be lost. When there is loss of revenue from the restaurant being closed, filing a business interruption claim with your insurance company is vital to prevent a financial catastrophe. The problem lies with your insurance company NOT wanting to pay for any business interruption and will more than likely DENY your claim.
