Riots erupt in the United States often in the wake of racial tensions created by police activities. Often beginning as peaceful protests, these demonstrations sometimes degenerate into violent riots where people and property suffer harm, leaving innocent people to pick up the pieces.

Insurance
The first entities that typically must pay for these injuries and damages are insurance companies. When a property owner suffers losses thanks to rioters, insurance policies will often cover the losses. Similarly, those injured on someone's property may be able to seek relief from the insurance company of the property owner. And, of course, the insurance of motorists whose vehicles are damaged in a riot typically pay for those losses, as well.
However, insurance is not always obliged to pay for the types of losses sustained in a riot.

Rioters
The next obvious target for seeking recovery is from the rioters themselves. Unfortunately, it is often difficult to identify these people during the chaos of a riot. If one is fortunate enough to have surveillance camera footage, they might be able to get a positive identification for a suspect, but then the issue becomes recovery. Often, those who engage in riots feel in some way disenfranchised, normally due to financial disadvantage. As a result, the odds of making a full recovery from individual rioters are very small.
However, if one wishes to pursue this option, the first step would be to contact law enforcement. Report the individual's conduct and provide any supporting evidence establishing the individual's presence at the scene and actions he or she took that caused harm. If the state opts to press charges against that individual, then anyone he or she harmed by the actions that led to the prosecution could be entitled to restitution.

Stupid Autocorrect.
Taxpayers/consumers ALWAYS pay.
The author of this article is ignorant. Insurance will not pay for this unless you have a special rider on your policy and pay a higher premium. Btw, this whole insurance will pay for it meme comes from bLM and Antifa types. They use it as a rationalization to loot and destroy businesses. Supposedly nobody gets hurt. Anyone with that mindset should be shot.
