Time To Assess Ebola Coverage?

This is a good time for organizations, healthcare providers and others, to consider the kinds of risks Ebola could present and to what extent they are covered by insurance or may need to increase their coverage, write K&L Gates attorneys Thomas M. Reiter and Lucas J. Tanglen. They look at some possible scenarios and how a variety of insurance categories might or might not apply: general liability, errors and omissions, directors and officers liability – even business interruption insurance, and whether it could be invoked in the event of a quarantine. They provide a list of points to cover as a company goes about doing an assessment.
