The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed the dismissal of an Oregon company’s suit against its insurer for COVID-19-related losses, pointing to what the court said were consistent rulings in more than 800 similar cases around the country.
The court denied Oregon Clinic’s claim that its insurer improperly denied its claim under a commercial property insurance policy for COVID-19 losses, concluding it failed to state a claim that the business suffered ”direct physical loss or damage.”
