Not enough information provided so cannot give proper guidance. But there could be a lot of factors which can save you from being sued and vice versa. It is better to consult a commercial lawyer to discuss your case details and see which part of the supply chain caused the delay.
I imagine insurance companies would be quite busy in the coming months.
Better to get in touch with your legal advisor. Coronavirus is expecting to bring a lot of havoc to the business world.
