Contractors Pollution Liability

Protection That Performs

What lies beneath can haunt your project for years and cut deeply into your bottom line.

Contractors Pollution Liability programs provide protection to contractors for third-party bodily injury and property damage claims resulting from work performed at a job site or the exacerbation of existing conditions caused by work performed by the contractor.

Risk Strategies Environmental Liability experts know that a good defense doesn’t come cheap. Legal defense is generally included within the limits of a Contractors Pollution liability policy; however, some carriers now offer Legal Defense that goes beyond standard policy limits. A well-crafted program can cover contractors or the project owner, its contractor, and all tiered sub-contractors performing work at a job site.

Additional program coverages available include:

Natural Resource Damage
Microbial Matter (Mold)
Transportation
Non-Owned Disposal Sites

Contractors Pollution Liability insurance programs can be structured on a multi-year term of up to 10 years and the policy can be tailored on project specific basis or on a corporate practice policy basis. Keeping in step with your needs and plans, policy terms can be written to track a project timeline.

Environmental Wrap-up coverage is a comprehensive approach that can be written for the owner or contractor for work performed by one contractor or all tiered contractors on a project.
