Live Nation Sues Insurer Over COVID-19 Coverage
LOS ANGELES (CelebrityAccess) — Live Nation has sued one of its insurers, alleging the company refused to cover millions in losses from events cancelled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the suit, filed in a federal court in California, Live Nation alleges that Factory Mutual Insurance Company wrongfully failed to pay off on “all risk” insurance policies that specifically covered losses due to communicable diseases.
“While the policy limits are insufficient to cover all of Live Nation’s losses in the extreme pandemic that has burdened much of the world these last ten months, with the FM Global Advantage® Policy Live Nation purchased substantial financial protection against this exact situation. That is, the scenario where a covered peril has caused a catastrophe with widespread impact on Live Nation’s venues and other properties, as well as properties immediately adjacent to its venues, and throughout the Live Nation community of employees, artists, fans, customers, and suppliers, resulting in massive losses,” attorneys for Live Nation wrote in the initial complaint for the suit.
