Contractors Pollution Liability Coverage

Aerial View of Polluted City to Clear Skies

As the construction industry has been on fire, contractors face a wide range of risks, including pollution exposures of any size and from a greater variety of sources. Most contractors do not consider pollution risk. A pollution incident or loss can seriously damage a contractor’s operations, balance sheet, and even reputation.

Pollution insurance coverage is also very complicated. The policies are written on manuscript forms, so it is very important that details and coverages are discussed to make sure the pollution insurance policy fits your company’s exposure.
