Wind vs. Water: Insurance Coverage for Storm Damage
November 6, 2012
Our thoughts are with those affected by Hurricane Sandy. In 2005, after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, SRZ partner Howard B. Epstein and special counsel Theodore A. Keyes published an article addressing insurance coverage for loss following a severe weather event. The authors noted that despite the rarity of destructive hurricanes in the northeast, New York City ranked only behind Miami/Fort Lauderdale in vulnerability for total economic loss from hurricane damage. The insight in this article is now directly relevant to losses faced by NY businesses.
