Coping
with Business Interruptions
In the aftermath of unexpected and tragic events, businesses
must find a way to document their losses as part of a plan to move forward.
Days before Memorial Day, a recently renovated hotel in Newport, RI was wrecked in
a fire, ending their summer season before it began. In Buffalo, NY, the Tops
Friendly Market was the scene of a horrific domestic terrorist
attack on customers two weeks ago. When, or if, the neighborhood’s sole grocery
store will reopen has not been determined yet.
If your business has been closed due to unforeseen
events, Asterion can quantify the effects of such a closure.
Class
Actions: More Than Just Food Fights
The class actions that garner attention often involve disputes
about food. After a suit against Burger King over discrepancies in burger size
was filed in March, additional
cases were brought against McDonald’s and Wendy’s. Photographic
evidence has been submitted. Class actions address more serious
purposes, as well. For example, Amazon was sued recently
for allegedly not paying workers who take military leave.
If you are involved in a class action, Asterion can
assist in modeling or evaluating damage models.
