Source excerpt
The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York has sued its insurer, asserting that it was unlawfully denied coverage for millions of dollars in losses that it sustained when it closed for six months because of the Covid-19 pandemic last year.
The insurer, Affiliated FM Insurance Company, has twice wrongly denied its claim to damages, the museum argues in a civil complaint that was filed on Friday in Supreme Court of the State of New York.
