Catastrophic Restaurant Fire Recovery
Feb 01, 2020
Yakiniku West, a traditional Japanese BBQ restaurant and East Village staple, sustained a catastrophic fire originating in their dining room. Following the fire, delays in the insurance carrier’s investigation nearly bankrupted the owner. When the carrier did finally honor the claim, they incorrectly applied a penalty to the settlement for the restaurant’s business interruption, substantially underpaying for Yakiniku’s financial losses.
Through exhaustive effort, Eastern Public worked with the insurance carrier’s attorneys to help them understand the carrier’s mistakes, successfully negotiating the settlement at policy limits and allowing the owner to reopen the business, and avoid costly litigation.
