An individual person is NOT the same entity as the business.   So you're looking at several things here:\n\n1.  Who does the policy cover?\n2.  Who sustained the damages?\n3.  Would the damages be covered if there wasn't an issue of insurable interest?\n4.  What is the EXACT relationship between the owner and the business (ie, does the individual own 100% of the corporation?)\n\nFWIW, an insured CANNOT assign a policy without the company's prior, written permission - ie, you have to change the whole policy.  If the nature of the business as written on the policy with the individual, is the same as the nature of the NEW business sustaining the loss, AND the individual is the sole owner of the new business, it shouldn't be too hard to talk your agent into going to bat for you on this claim.\n\nHOWEVER.  If the original policy was written, say, for a landlord, and the landlord went in with a partner and started a retail shop, or a pizza shop or something, then the whole nature of the risk changes - and you're not going to get this loss covered.  New people, new entity, new business.  NOT the old business.

Ask your lawyer, or whoever is handling your case.

I think any advice you get from this site should be taken with caution. Probably the only legal advice I'd actually follow from here is, "call a lawyer".

You can ask but you might get sued over it.\n\nCoach

That;s a hard story to figure out, since you didn't really specify much.\n\nMy suggestion is that you have a consultation with an Attorney and let him tell you what you can do..........

Call around - get a lawyer who handles this and spend $50 with them to see if you have a case.  If you do they WILL TELL YOU !

It seems to me the smartest thing to do is to consult a lawyer ASAP.  They would be able to give you the best advice since laws are different in each state.  I believe, but don't quote me, that consultations are usually free.  And at least you will know if you have a case.  Good Luck.

I really think this is a question that only a lawyer can answer, and I'm not one. Not really a question for here unless there are lawyers online at the moment. Sorry
