With an estimated $35 billion—or more—in insured losses caused by Hurricane Katrina, it is clear that insurance will play a substantial role in the rebuilding of the devastated Gulf Coast region.  As part of its commitment to public service, Gilbert LLP has produced two videos to help those affected better understand common insurance coverage issues, and to provide practical pointers for maximizing insurance recovery for this and future disasters.

The first video is aimed at homeowners and goes over some basics of insurance coverage, including:

  • How to be better prepared for future disasters

The second video is aimed at small business owners and provides an overview of common coverage issues for small businesses, including provisions included in typical business insurance policies, such as:

  • Extra expense
  • Business interruption
  • Extended and contingent business interruption
