Environmental & Pollution Liability Insurance for Fixed Sites
Environmental & Pollution Liability insurance provides a comprehensive solution that addresses a range of environmental risks that are often not covered under other insurance policies.
This policy will cover the policyholder for bodily injury, property damage and environmental damage caused by pollution incidents arising from locations that are owned or operated by the insured. Importantly, the policy will also cover emergency response expenses that are required to contain and remediate the contamination on your site where there is a legal obligation to do so.
With increased regulatory focus on environmental issues and courts taking a strict “polluter pays” approach the consequences of a pollution incident can be very damaging. This policy provides an all-inclusive solution to pollution risks.
