“Our employees appreciated the practical help they got from UP, and that UP looked out for their best interest after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita."
COVID Loss Recovery Initiative
When events cause people and businesses to suffer serious and costly losses and insurance benefits become critically important to recovery, United Policyholders provides guidance, advocacy support and information to facilitate fair claim payouts. Our goal is to help every person and entity that has invested in buying insurance get the full value of that investment and recover all benefits owed after adversity has struck.
Official shutdown and shelter-in-place orders due to the COVID-19 pandemic have caused crippling financial losses for businesses throughout the nation. Insurance benefits will make or break many businesses' ability to resume operations and recover. United Policyholders established this library just as we would after a hurricane or wildfire to assist the flow of desperately needed insurance funds. We thank and acknowledge our sponsors, donors and volunteers for sharing our dedication and service to empowering the insured.
In this library you will find current information, strategies and help resources for collecting all available insurance benefits for losses associated with COVID-19. The library is curated by our not-for-profit organization and a team of leading policyholder attorneys and professionals from across the United States. It features basic as well as in-depth guidance on insurance coverage, claim and legal matters plus the latest developments in the battle for coverage.
