Overview of Environmental & Pollution Liability Insurance
Environmental and pollution liability insurance covers exposures that most general liability policies exclude. It may respond to third-party injury and property damage from a pollution condition, along with cleanup and remediation costs, whether the exposure arises from work at job sites or from a property you own or operate.
Most general liability policies exclude pollution, which surprises a lot of business owners the first time they read the fine print. We help California businesses match the right form to the exposure they actually carry.
