Small Business Insurance

[deebrute]

My mother owns a small restaurant in a strip mall in Texas. Next door is a nail salon that uses very strong toxic chemicals. These chemicals can be smelled in her restaurant, give her and her employees headaches, and cause her to loose business because customers walk right out. She has filed complaints with the EPA and other government dept agencies regarding the smell; however, does business insurance cover the loss that she is taking from losing customers and business?

What did the insurance company say when asked?

My mother did not call the insurance company because she doesnt know if she should. She has a legitimate point, and the nail salon owners next door are very nasty when you try to speak to them about the smell. Do you think there would be any reprecussions if she called her insurance company to inquire?
