Southern Hospitality, Inc. v. Zurich American Insurance

SEYMOUR, Circuit Judge.

This case arises from the denial of insurance claims after the events of September 11, 2001. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of defendant insurance company, Zurich American Insurance (Zurich), on plaintiffs’ claims that their loss of business income was covered by their Zurich policy.
