For business valuation experts grappling with business interruption (BI) and damages matters in the wake of this year’s natural disasters, BVR is offering some free resources. You can download two full chapters from The Comprehensive Guide to Economic Damages, 7th edition, that deal with BI, lost profits, and damages claims:

  1. Chapter 9, “Context of the Lost Profits Damages Claim,” by Jonathan M. Dunitz, Esq. (Verrill), and Tyler L. Farmer, Esq. (Harrigan Leyh Farmer & Thomsen LLP). To download this chapter, click here.
  2. Chapter 45, “Business Interruption and Damage Claims,” by John Garaffa, Esq. (Butler Weihmuller Katz Craig LLP). To download this chapter, click here.

Also, we’ve uploaded a video clip from BVR’s symposium “Calculating Damages for Insured Claims” in which Dunitz discusses the limitations in claiming damages based on the indirect effects of natural disasters, such as the speculative losses due to increased demand following a hurricane or flood.

We hope you will find these resources helpful.
