This week, independent restaurants took the reigns into their hands with insurance companies.
Thomas Keller sued his own insurance company after Hartford Fire Insurance Company denied there was any business interruption. The chef and owner of French Laundry took his insurer to court after they claimed that there were no dangerous conditions at the restaurant amid the restaurant's closure for the coronavirus pandemic.
