Most patients who are denied insurance coverage feel wronged but end up doing nothing as they don\u2019t have the money and the legal resources to pursue these big insurance companies. <\/p>\n<p>The Genting Group has no such problems as they company has cried foul over <strong>not being paid their insured amount which they estimated to be over $500 million<\/strong>.

The losses incurred by these two casino properties should therefore be considered losses that were due to destruction, damage and loss to physical property. <\/p>\n<p>The insurers don\u2019t agree with Genting Americas as this clause is generally put in place to cover physical damage that a hurricane or flood might cause. However, Genting disagrees with this and says it does not have to show physical damage at any of its casinos for this clause to trigger.<\/p>\n<p>We will have to wait and see how the lawsuit plays out as a win for Genting could trigger other casino operators to file similar lawsuits against their insurers.  \t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Malaysian based Genting Group is a conglomerate that has a strong presence in the global casino market.
