Envision Healthcare Corp. v. XL Ins. Am., Inc.: The first department held that an insured failed to plead claims for “direct physical loss” and “direct physical damage” coverage for COVID-related shutdown losses. The “direct physical damage” claim failed because COVID-19 does not cause physical damage to property (in line with “countless decisions across the country”). The “direct physical loss” claim failed because the insured did not plead that COVID-19 caused “persistent and complete contamination” that eliminated the property’s function, rendered it uninhabitable, and required its complete shutdown. --- New York is a commercial and insurance hub, and the decisions of its appellate courts shape the national and global insurance industry.
