Source excerpt
leaving it with an insurance claim of $25 million.
Nordstrom claims its stores suffered extensive damage during last year's protests of police violence against Black people and its insurance company is attempting to escape coverage of the related costs.
Nordstrom admitted in a complaint filed Friday in federal court that only a "small percentage" of the protests "turned violent," but it was enough that the entirety of its chain of 100 department stores suffered damage, directly through theft or indirectly through business interruption.
