members of the class as defined below, hereby bring this class action against defendant Erie
Electronically Filed 05/04/2020 15:25 / COMPLAINT / CV 20 932204 / Confirmation Nbr. 1993170 / CLMRB
GENERAL ALLEGATIONS
Ristorante at 12405 Mayfield Road, Cleveland, Ohio 44106. Founded and operated by Valerio and
Stella Iorio, Valerio’s Ristorante has been one of Cleveland’s most loved and successful authentic
Italian restaurants, but its operations have been sharply curtailed by the events that give rise to this
complaint.
2. Plaintiff The Fairmount Inc. is an Ohio corporation that does business as The
Fairmount at 2448 Fairmount Boulevard, Cleveland Heights, Ohio 44106-3131. Family owned and
operated, The F airmount has been a highly successful restaurant, craft cocktail and wine bar, but like
Valerio’s its operations also have been sharply curtained by the events at issue in this complaint.
4. In order to protect its business operations from losses outside its control, Valerio’s
obtained a commercial insurance policy, number Q97-2014696, from Erie (“the Valerio’s policy”),
providing coverage for Valerio’s operations at 12405 Mayfield Road, Cleveland, Ohio 44106. A true
and correct copy of the Declarations for the policy is attached as Exhibit A. The Valerio’s policy
is voluminous and is in the possession of Erie, and therefore has not been attached in its entirety.
5. The Valerio’s policy issued by Erie provides coverage for, among other things,
Income Protection Coverage, Extra Expense Coverage, and loss due to the actions of civil
authorities. This coverage is extended in, among other things, Forms PK-00-01(Ed. 01/20) CL-0001
and PK-JK (Ed. 9/18) CL-0348, which provide coverage for loss of business income, along with
extra expenses incurred to avoid or minimize the suspension, in the event of a partial or total

interruption of business resulting from a peril insured against, as well as additional coverage for the
actual loss of income and necessary extra expenses incurred as a result of “action of civil authority
6. In order to protect its business operations from losses outside its control, The
Fairmount also obtained a commercial insurance policy, number Q97-20159079, from Erie (“the
Fairmount policy”), providing coverage for The Fairmount’s operations at 2448 Fairmount
Boulevard, Cleveland Heights, Ohio 44106-3131. A true and correct copy of the Declarations for
the policy is attached as Exhibit B. Like the Valerio’s policy, the Fairmount policy is voluminous
and is in the possession of Erie, and therefore has not been attached in its entirety.
7. Like the Valerio’s policy, the F airmount policy issued by Erie provides coverage for,
among other things, Income Protection Coverage, Extra Expense Coverage, and loss due to the
actions of civil authorities. This coverage is extended in, among other things, Forms PK-00-01(Ed.
9/18) CL-0001 and PK-JK (Ed. 9/18) CL-0348, which provide coverage for loss ofbusiness income,
along with extra expenses incurred to avoid or minimize the suspension, in the event of a partial or
total interruption of business resulting from a peril insured against, as well as additional coverage
for the actual loss of income and necessary extra expenses incurred as a result of “action of civil
8. While the Valerio’s policy and the Fairmount Policy were in force, Valerio’s and The
Fairmount sustained, and continue to sustain, covered losses due to the presence, and the risk of the
presence, of the pathogen that causes COVID-19 within and on the insured premises, as well as

9. As Governor Mike DeWine noted in Executive Order 2020-01D, issued on March
9, 2020 and declaring a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 crisis, COVID-19 is caused by a
new strain of coronavirus that can be contracted by touching a surface or object that has the virus on
it. Amy Acton, M.D., MPH, Director of the Ohio Department of Health, has since issued Directors’
Orders restricting the operations of various types of businesses and commercial operations, noting
that COVID-19 is easily spread, and that previous studies have shown that human coronaviruses can
10. On March 15, 2020, following the issuance of Executive Order 2020-01D, Dr. Acton
issued a Director’s Order prohibiting the sale of food and beverages for onsite consumption, and
restricting all food and beverage sales to carry-out and delivery only, in order “to avoid an imminent
threat with a high probability of widespread exposure to COVID 19." In her March 15, 2020
Director’s Order prohibiting the sale of food and beverages for on-site consumption, Dr. Acton
specifically noted that COVID-19 is easily spread, and that previous studies have shown that human
coronaviruses can survive on inanimate surfaces for as long as four to five days. A copy of the order
is attached as Exhibit C.
11. On March 22, 2020, Dr. Acton issued a “Stay At Home Order” restricting the
activities and movement of Ohio residents, including Ohio residents who would otherwise frequent
Valerio’s and The Fairmount, and again restricting the activities of these two businesses, and all
other businesses engaged in the sale of food and beverages, to carry-out and delivery service. A copy
12. As a direct and proximate result, Valerio’s and The Fairmount have been compelled
to restrict their business activities at the insured premises to carry-out service only, and as a result
Electronically Filed 05/04/2020 15:25 / COMPLAINT / CV 20 932204 / Confirmation Nbr. 1993170 / CLMRB
both have sustained, and will continue to sustain, serious business interruption losses and other
damages that are covered under the policies issued to them by Erie.
13. Dr. Acton issued the March 15, 2020 and March 22, 2020 Director’s Orders pursuant
14. The pathogen that causes COVID-19 is a physical substance that is capable of
remaining active and virulent on physical surfaces, including the physical surfaces within the insured
15. Governor DeWine’s declaration of a state of emergency, and Dr. Acton’s Director’s
Orders, each constitute actions of civil authority for purposes of Erie’s policy.
16. On April 17, 2020, Valerio’s presented a claim for business interruption loss and
other coverage under the policy, with the amount of the claim to be determined after the conclusion
17. On April 21,2020, Erie formally denied Valerio’s claim, asserting that the Valerio’s
policy does not provide coverage for the business interruption and extra expense losses that have
18. On April 21, 2020, Erie formally denied The Fairmount’s claim, asserting that the
Fairmount policy does not provide coverage for the business interruption and extra expense losses
that have been claimed. A copy of the denial letter is attached as Exhibit F.
ERIE’S COVERAGE
19. In return for payment of a premium, Erie issued Valerio’s its Ultrapack Plus Policy,
No. Q97-2014696, effective from February 5, 2020 to February 5, 2021, which included (among
other things), Erie’s Ultrapack Plus Commercial Policy Coverage Part (Form PK-00-01 (Ed. 1/20))
Electronically Filed 05/04/2020 15:25 / COMPLAINT / CV 20 932204 / Confirmation Nbr. 1993170 / CLMRB
and Erie’s Restaurants Enhancement Endorsement (Form PK-JK (Ed. 9/18) CL-0348). Form PK-
00-01 (Ed. 1/20)) is attached as Exhibit G, and Form PK-JK is attached as Exhibit H.
20. In return for payment of a premium, Erie issued The Fairmount its Ultrapack Plus
Policy, No. Q97-2059079, effective from March 25, 2019 to March 25, 2020, which included
(among other things) Erie’s Ultrapack Plus Commercial Policy Coverage Part (Form PK-00-01 (Ed.
9/18)) and Erie’s Restaurants Enhancement Endorsement (Form PK-JK (Ed. 9/18) CL-0348). Form
21. Erie’s policies are what is known as “all-risk” policies, in that they cover all risks that
do not fall within the scope of express policy exclusions. Specifically, in both versions of Form PK-
This Policy insures against direct physical “loss”, except “loss” as excluded
or limited in this policy.
22. The term “loss” is defined in both policies as “direct and accidental loss of or damage
to covered property.”
23. In both versions of Form PK-00-1, as modified by Form PK-JK, Erie also agreed to
provide Valerio’s and The Fairmount with coverage for loss of business income, along with extra
expenses incurred to avoid or minimize the suspension, in the event of a partial or total interruption
of business resulting from a peril insured against, as well as additional coverage for the actual loss
of income and necessary extra expenses incurred as a result of “action of civil authority that prohibits
access” to the insured property in the event that a peril insured against causes damage to the property
of others.
Electronically Filed 05/04/2020 15:25 / COMPLAINT / CV 20 932204 / Confirmation Nbr. 1993170 / CLMRB
24. The insurance industry has long recognized that the presence of pathogens and
disease-causing agents such as fungi, bacteria, and viruses can constitute physical loss or damage
to property, and for that reason have incorporated express exclusions for such coverage into some
25. Erie has issued policies of insurance to thousands of Ohio businesses using the same
standard forms and language for loss of business income, extra expense, and actions of civil
authorities as Erie used in the Ultrapack Plus Policies it issued to Valerio’s and The Fairmount, and
each of which lacks an enforceable exclusion for losses due to the presence, and the risk of the
presence, of the pathogen that causes COVID-19 within and on the insured premises, as well as
26. Upon information and belief, many of these businesses have sustained loss of
business income, extra expense, and other covered losses due to the presence, and the risk of the
presence, of the pathogen that causes COVID-19 within and on the insured premises, as well as
within and on other premises in the immediate vicinity, and as well as to actions of civil authority
27. Upon information and belief, Erie has, on a uniform basis, refused to pay any of its
insureds under the coverage at issue here for losses due to the presence, and the risk of the presence,
of the pathogen that causes COVID-19 within and on the insured premises, as well as within and on

CLASS ACTION ALLEGATIONS
A. Class Definition
28. Valerio’s and The Fairmount bring this class action pursuant to Ohio Civil Rule 23
29. Valerio’s and The Fairmount seek to represent a statewide class (the “Class”) defined
as:
30. Excluded from the Class is defendant and any of its members, affiliates, parents,
subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, successors, or any controlled person of defendant; the
judicial officers assigned to this litigation; and any members of their staff or immediate family.
31. Erie is a major underwriter of commercial casualty insurance policies, and upon
information and belief has issued hundreds, if not thousands, of standardized policies such as the
32. Upon information and belief, Erie has denied, or will deny, coverage to each and
every one of these Ohio insureds who makes a claim arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. As the
Electronically Filed 05/04/2020 15:25 / COMPLAINT / CV 20 932204 / Confirmation Nbr. 1993170 / CLMRB
state of emergency declared by Governor DeWine and various Director’s Orders issued by Dr. Acton
have disrupted business activities throughout the state and have affected a wide range of commercial
enterprises, it is clear that the class as defined above consists of many hundreds, if not thousands,
33. Although the precise number of class members is unknown, it is apparent that the
members of the class are so numerous that individual joinder would be impracticable. At the same
time, the precise number and identity of those persons who had policies with the relevant coverage
provisions and were denied coverage for COVID-19 related losses can be ascertained from Erie’s
own books and records. Class members may be notified of the pendency of the action by recognized
methods, which may include U.S. Mail, electronic mail, internet portals, and/or other forms of
published notice.
34. Common questions of law and fact predominate in this matter because the contractual
provisions at issue are uniform across the class, as is Erie’s decision to refuse coverage under those
provisions for COVID-19 related losses. For the same reasons, the claims and defenses of the
35. The questions of law or fact common to the Class include, but are not limited to:
b. Whether the COVID-19 Pandemic and/or the SARS-CoV-2 virus and/or the
disease known as COVID-19 can cause direct physical “loss” of or damage
to Covered Property as defined in the common policy forms issued to
members of the Class;
Electronically Filed 05/04/2020 15:25 / COMPLAINT / CV 20 932204 / Confirmation Nbr. 1993170 / CLMRB
c. Whether the COVID-19 Pandemic and/or the SARS-CoV-2 virus and/or the
disease known as COVID-19 constitute a “peril insured against” and/or a
Covered Cause of Loss under the relevant policy language;
e. Whether the actions of the civil authorities closing or limiting access to non
essential businesses due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and/or the SARS-CoV-2
virus and/or the disease COVID-19 satisfy the requirement in the Civil
Authority coverage that the insured’s business be closed due to damage to
property within one mile of the insured premises.
36. Valerio’s and The F airmount are adequate class representatives because their interests
do not conflict with those of any other Class member. By proving their individual claims, Valerio’s
and The Fairmount will necessarily prove those of the Class, as their claims and those of the Class
members will be based on the same legal theories, and arise from the same pattern of wrongful
37. The law firm ofNurenberg, Paris, Heller & McCarthy has ample experience litigating
class actions, and specifically class actions involving insurance coverage issues, and has adequate
financial resources to ensure that the interests of the class will not be harmed.
38. The law firm ofNurenberg Paris has successfully litigated a number of complex class
actions. Among others, the law firm ofNurenberg Paris successfully litigated a complex class action
against State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company on behalf of Ohio insureds who were
Baughman v. State Farm Mut. Auto Ins. Co., 88 Ohio St.3d 480, 2000-Ohio-397, 727 N.E.2d 1265.
10
Electronically Filed 05/04/2020 15:25 / COMPLAINT / CV 20 932204 / Confirmation Nbr. 1993170 / CLMRB
The firm also successfully litigated a consumer class action against a major Ohio auto dealership on
behalf of consumers who were unfairly charged inappropriate fees in conjunction with their vehicle
purchases. See Washington v. Spitzer Mgmt., 8th Dist. Cuyahoga No. 81612, 2003-Ohio-1735. Each
case resulted in monetary recoveries on behalf of thousands of individual Ohioans who had been
39. The prosecution of separate actions by individual class members would create a risk
of (a) inconsistent or varying adjudications with respect to individual class members that would
establish incompatible standards of conduct for the defendant; and (b) would, as a practical matter,
be dispositive of the interests of the other members not parties to the individual adjudications.
F. Erie Has Acted on Grounds that Apply Generally to the Class (Civ. R. 23(B)(2))
40. Erie has acted or refused to act on grounds generally applicable to the Class, so that
41. Questions of fact or law common to members of the Class as a whole, as referenced
above, predominate over questions affecting only individual members, and a class action is superior
to other available methods for fairly and efficiently adjudicating the controversy. Among other
things,
b. Management of the class action would present few difficulties, and provides
the benefits of single adjudication, economy of scale, and comprehensive
supervision by a single court.

COUNT I - BREACH OF CONTRACT
43. The policies issued to Valerio’s and The Fairmount by Erie, as well as the policies
issued to other members of the Class, are contracts under which Valerio’s, The Fairmount, and the
other Class members paid premiums in exchange for Erie’s promise to indemnify them for certain
losses specified in those policies, including business income lost, and extra expenses incurred, as a

and damage to the insured premises, as well as to other premises, such that the loss of business

Fairmount, and the other Class members is covered under those policies, and Erie is obligated to
indemnify Valerio’s, The Fairmount, and the other Class members for the loss.
45. Valerio’s, The Fairmount, and each Class member have performed all of their
obligations under the policies issued by Erie, including the payment of premiums, and has otherwise
46. Valerio’s loss claims, and the loss claims of the Class members, are not subject to any
47. The Fairmount’s loss claims, and the loss claims of the Class members, are not

Valerio’s, The Fairmount, and the Class, and as a result, Valerio’s and the Class have sustained, and

COUNT II - DECLARATORY JUDGMENT
50. There is a dispute between Valerio’s, The Fairmount, and the Class members, on the
one hand, and Erie on the other, as to the construction of the policies of insurance at issue in this
action, and the enforceability of their terms, such that an actual controversy exists between the
51. As a result, Valerio’s, The Fairmount, and the Class are entitled to a declaration of
their rights under those policies, including their rights to indemnification for business income and
extra expense losses arising from the events at issue in this case.
52. Valerio’s, The Fairmount, and the Class members are entitled to a declaration that
their ongoing business income and extra expense losses incurred as a result of, and in connection
with, the drastic curtailment and/or cessation of their business activities due to the COVID-19
pandemic are insured losses under the policies issued by Erie, and that once documented, Erie shall
be obligated to pay the full amount of those expenses or to pay policy limits, whichever is less.

Multiple areas of the United States are experiencing “community spread” of the virus that causes COVID-
19. Community spread, defined as the transmission of an illness for which the source is unknown, means
that isolation of known areas of infection is no longer enough to control spread.
Previously studied human coronaviruses (including SARS, which is very closely related to COVID-19)
can survive on paper, wood, glass, plastic for up to 4-5 days. Persistence of coronaviruses on inanimate
surfaces and their inactivation with biocidal agents, The Journal of Hospital Infection, March 2020,
Volume 104, Issue 3, Pages 246-251.
Michael Osterholm, PhD, MPH, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the
University of Minnesota, said that research findings confirm that COVID-19 is spread simply through
breathing, even without coughing, http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2020/03/study-

Re: Director’s Order that All Persons Stay at Home Unless Engaged in Essential Work or
Activity
I, Amy Acton, MD, MPH, Director of the Ohio Department of Health (ODH), pursuant to the authority
granted to me in R.C. 3701.13 to “make special orders...for preventing the spread of contagious or
infectious diseases” Order the following to prevent the spread of COVID-19 into the State of Ohio:
1. Stay at home or place of residence. With exceptions as outlined below, all individuals currently
living within the State of Ohio are ordered to stay at home or at their place of residence except as
allowed in this Order. To the extent individuals are using shared or outdoor spaces when outside
their residence, they must at all times and as much as reasonably possible, maintain social
distancing of at least six feet from any other person, with the exception of family or household
members, consistent with the Social Distancing Requirements set forth in this Order. All persons
may leave their homes or place of residence only for Essential Activities, Essential Governmental
Functions, or to participate in Essential Businesses and Operations, all as defined below.
Individuals experiencing homelessness are exempt from this Order, but are strongly urged to
obtain shelter, and governmental and other entities are strongly urged to make such shelter-
available as soon as possible and to the maximum extent practicable (and to use in their operation
COVID-19 risk mitigation practices recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) and the Ohio Department of Health (ODH)). This order does not apply to
incarcerated individuals, they are to follow the guidance of the facility in which they are confined.
Individuals whose residences are unsafe or become unsafe, such as victims of domestic violence,
are permitted and urged to leave their home and stay at a safe alternative location. For purposes of
this Order, homes or residences include hotels, motels, shared rental units, shelters, and similar
facilities.
2. Non-essential business and operations must cease. All businesses and operations in the State,
except Essential Businesses and Operations as defined below, are required to cease all activities
within the State except Minimum Basic Operations, as defined below. For clarity, businesses,
including home-based businesses, may also continue operations consisting exclusively of
employees or contractors performing activities at their own residences (i.e., working from home).
All Essential Businesses and Operations are encouraged to remain open. Essential Businesses and
Operations shall comply with Social Distancing Requirements as defined in this Order, including
by maintaining six-foot social distancing for both employees and members of the public at all
times, including, but not limited to, when any customers are standing in line.
3. Prohibited activities. All public and private gatherings of any number of people occurring outside

Multiple areas of the United States are experiencing “community spread” of the virus that causes COVID-
19. Community spread, defined as the transmission of an illness for which the source is unknown, means
that isolation of known areas of infection is no longer enough to control spread.
The CDC reports that people are most contagious when they are most symptomatic (the sickest) however
some spread might be possible before people show symptoms although that is not the main way the virus
spreads.
Mass gatherings (10 or more persons) increase the risk of community transmission of the virus COVID-
19.

Office of the Director
Washington, DC 20528
CISA
CYBER+INFRASTRUCTURE
As the Nation comes together to slow the spread of COVID-19, on March 16th, the President issued
updated Coronavirus Guidance for America. This guidance states that:
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) executes the Secretary of Homeland
Security’s responsibilities as assigned under the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to provide strategic
guidance, promote a national unity of effort, and coordinate the overall federal effort to ensure the
security and resilience of the Nation's critical infrastructure. CISA uses trusted partnerships with
both the public and private sectors to deliver infrastructure resilience assistance and guidance to a
broad range of partners.
In accordance with this mandate, and in collaboration with other federal agencies and the private
sector, CISA developed an initial list of “Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers” to help State and
local officials as they work to protect their communities, while ensuring continuity of functions
critical to public health and safety, as well as economic and national security. The list can also
inform critical infrastructure community decision-making to determine the sectors, sub-sectors,
segments, or critical functions that should continue normal operations, appropriately modified to
account for Centers for Disease Control (CDC) workforce and customer protection guidance.
The attached list identifies workers who conduct a range of operations and services that are essential
to continued critical infrastructure viability, including staffing operations centers, maintaining and
repairing critical infrastructure, operating call centers, working construction, and performing
management functions, among others. The industries they support represent, but are not necessarily
limited to, medical and healthcare, telecommunications, information technology systems, defense,
food and agriculture, transportation and logistics, energy, water and wastewater, law enforcement,
and public works.
Electronically Filed 05/04/2020 15:25 / COMPLAINT / CV 20 932204 / Confirmation Nbr. 1993170 / CLMRB
We recognize that State, local, tribal, and territorial governments are ultimately in charge of
implementing and executing response activities in communities under their jurisdiction, while the
Federal Government is in a supporting role. As State and local communities consider
COVID-19-related restrictions, CISA is offering this list to assist prioritizing activities related to
continuity of operations and incident response, including the appropriate movement of critical
infrastructure workers within and between jurisdictions.
Accordingly, this list is advisory in nature. It is not, nor should it be considered to be, a federal
directive or standard in and of itself.
In addition, these identified sectors and workers are not intended to be the authoritative or exhaustive
list of critical infrastructure sectors and functions that should continue during the COVID-19
response. Instead, State and local officials should use their own judgment in using their authorities
and issuing implementation directives and guidance. Similarly, critical infrastructure industry
partners will use their own judgment, informed by this list, to ensure continued operations of critical
infrastructure services and functions. All decisions should appropriately balance public safety while
ensuring the continued delivery of critical infrastructure services and functions.
CISA will continue to work with you and our partners in the critical infrastructure community to
update this list as the Nation’s response to COVID-19 evolves. We also encourage you to submit
how you might use this list so that we can develop a repository of use cases for broad sharing across
the country.
Should you have questions about this list, please contact CISA at CISA.CAT@cisa.dhs.gov.

Guidance on the Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce:
Ensuring Community and National Resilience in COVID-19
Response
Version 1.0 (March 19, 2020)
This guidance and accompanying list are intended to support State, Local, and industry partners in identifying the
critical infrastructure sectors and the essential workers needed to maintain the services and functions Americans
depend on daily and that need to be able to operate resiliently during the COVID-19 pandemic response.
This document gives guidance to State, local, tribal, and territorial jurisdictions and the private sector on defining
essential critical infrastructure workers. Promoting the ability of such workers to continue to work during periods of
community restriction, access management, social distancing, or closure orders/directives is crucial to community
resilience and continuity of essential functions.
1. Response efforts to the COVID-19 pandemic are locally executed, State managed, and federally supported
2. Everyone should follow guidance from the CDC, as well as State and local government officials, regarding
strategies to limit disease spread.
3. Workers should be encouraged to work remotely when possible and focus on core business activities. In
person, non-mandatory activities should be delayed until the resumption of normal operations.
4. When continuous remote work is not possible, businesses should enlist strategies to reduce the likelihood of
spreading the disease. This includes, but is not necessarily limited to, separating staff by off-setting shift
hours or days and/or social distancing. These steps can preserve the workforce and allow operations to
continue.
Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce
5. All organizations should implement their business continuity and pandemic plans, or put plans in place if they
do not exist. Delaying implementation is not advised and puts at risk the viability of the business and the
health and safety of the employees.
6. In the modern economy, reliance on technology and just-in-time supply chains means that certain workers
must be able to access certain sites, facilities, and assets to ensure continuity of functions.
7. Government employees, such as emergency managers, and the business community need to establish and
maintain lines of communication.
8. When government and businesses engage in discussions about critical infrastructure workers, they need to
consider the implications of business operations beyond the jurisdiction where the asset or facility is located.
Businesses can have sizeable economic and societal impacts as well as supply chain dependencies that are
geographically distributed.
9. Whenever possible, jurisdictions should align access and movement control policies related to critical
infrastructure workers to lower the burden of workers crossing jurisdictional boundaries.

Cleveland, OH 44106
This letter is in reference to the above-captioned claim which was reported to Erie Insurance Exchange (ERIE) on
April 17, 2020 seeking coverage under the Ultrapack Policy #Q97-2014696 issued to Valerios Inc.
During our conversation on April 21,2020, you explained that your business experienced an interruption due to the
mandatory government shut down of all non-essential businesses. We regret to inform you that there is no
coverage for your loss of income because there is no direct physical loss to your building or business personal
property.
Please reference the Insuring Agreement for Building(s) - Coverage 1, Business Personal Property - Coverage II
and Income Protection - Coverage III which reads in relevant part:
SECTION I - COVERAGES
INSURING AGREEMENT
We will pay for direct physical "loss" of or damage to covered property at the premises described in the
"Declarations" caused by or resulting from a peril insured against.
BUILDING(S) - COVERAGE 1
This policy insures against direct physical "loss", except "loss" as excluded or limited in this policy.
Refer to SECTION 1 of the policy for what constitutes Covered Property under INCOME PROTECTION -
COVERAGES. Income Protection means loss of “income” and/or “rental income” you sustain due to partial or
total “interruption of business” resulting directly from “loss” or damage to property on the premises described in
Electronically Filed 05/04/2020 15:25 / COMPLAINT / CV 20 932204 / Confirmation Nbr. 1993170 I CLMRB 557710_l.docx
the “Declarations” from a peril insured against. Extra Expense Coverage under paragraph B of Coverage 3 also
requires a partial or total “interruption of business” resulting directly from “loss” or damage to property on the
premises described in the “Declarations” from a peril insured against.
As defined in Section XI of the policy, “Loss” means direct and accidental loss of or damage to covered property.
“Interruption of business” means the period of time that your business is partially or totally suspended and it:
1. Begins with the date of direct “loss” to covered property caused by a peril insured against; and 2. Ends on the
date when the covered property should be repaired, rebuilt, or replaced with reasonable speed and similar quality.
Income Protection does not apply because there was no partial or total “interruption of business” due to direct
physical “loss” or damage to Covered Property on the premises from a peril insured against.
Additional Coverages - Civil Authority under paragraph C of the Income Protection Coverage Section of the
policy (SECTION I, Coverage 3) reads:
C. Additional Coverages
1. Civil Authority
When a peril insured against causes damage to property other than property at the premises
described in the "Declarations", we will pay for the actual loss of "income" and/or "rental
income" you sustain and necessary "extra expense" caused by action of civil authority that
prohibits access to the premises described in the "Declarations" provided that both of the
following apply:
a. Access to the area immediately surrounding the damaged property is prohibited by civil
authority as a result of the damage, and the premises described in the "Declarations" are
within that area but are not more than one mile from the damaged property; and
b. The action of civil authority is taken in response to dangerous physical conditions resulting
from the damage or continuation of the peril insured against that caused the damage, or the
action is taken to enable a civil authority to have unimpeded access to the damaged
property.
Civil Authority coverage for "income" and/or "rental income" will begin 72 hours after the time
of the first action of civil authority that prohibits access to the premises described in the
"Declarations" and will apply for a period of up to four consecutive weeks from the date on
which such coverage began.
Civil Authority coverage does not apply because a Civil Authority did not order that the business be closed due
to damage to property within one mile of the premises described in the “Declarations, ” caused by a peril
insured against.
The Extension of Coverage for loss of “income” or “rental income” for Contingent Business Interruption under
SECTION VIII (B)(5) also requires a partial or total “interruption of business” resulting directly from “loss” or
damage to Btiilding(s) or Business Personal Property of “dependent properties” from a peril insured against.
