COVID-19 Event Cancellation Claims Pre-Litigation Checklist

Summary

This COVID-19 Event Cancellation Claims Pre-Litigation Checklist provides guidance on how to best assess and proceed with a COVID-19 event cancellation claim. It highlights what you should consider in reviewing and analyzing the policy and planning for future litigation. The checklist is jurisdiction-neutral and does not center on a specific industry from which an event cancellation claim may arise. Practitioners must identify the potential jurisdictions for a suit as states differ on applicable substantive coverage law and be familiar with jurisdiction-specific lines of precedent on event cancellation insurance especially as that coverage relates to COVID-19.
