No Recovery Under Business Interruption Policy For Building Collapse During Construction

In Aztar Corp. v. U.S. Fire Ins. Co., 2010 WL 334549 (Ariz.App. Div. 1), after an expansion to the Atlantic City Tropicana Casino collapsed during construction, the New Jersey government temporarily shut down various impacted structures, including the main entry street to the casino, a pedestrian bridge, the bus terminal, an existing parking structure, and a hotel tower. Although the Tropicana itself did not sustain any physical damage from the collapse and remained fully operational aside from the temporary access closures, the Tropicana experienced a decrease in patronage.
