Downtown Grilled Cheese Bar GCDC Leads a Class Action Suit Against Hartford Insurance - Eater DC
"GCDC, a grilled cheese bar downtown that typically draws office workers and tourists near the White House, filed a class action suit this week against insurance carrier Hartford for denying coverage of business it lost during the novel coronavirus pandemic. The lawsuit, filed in D.C. federal court on Monday, April 27, aims to recoup financial losses from Hartford Financial Services Group and wholly-owned subsidiary Sentinel Insurance. Restaurants around the country are taking insurers to court over business-interruption policies, many of which have provisions that exclude viruses. GCDC is at least the third known D.C. area restaurant to a file suit after its claim was denied, including the Proper 21 sports bar nearby and Arlington Tex-Mex fixture Guajillo." - Tierney Plumb
