Environmental Impairment Liability

Environmental Impairment Liability insurance is designed to address pollution risks associated with fixed sites.
Commonly referred to as Pollution Legal Liability, the coverage responds to gaps in general liability policies and the growing demand among environmental regulators, environmentally-conscious investors and consumers for businesses be held financially responsible for pollution releases.
Overview Back To Top
Environmental Impairment Liability provides financial protection against losses related to pollution releases, while responding directly to regulatory obligations, contract/lender/landlord requirements, shareholder needs and board of director objectives.

Our comprehensive policy covers:

  • Sudden and gradual pollution conditions;
  • on-site clean-up costs for pre-existing and/or new conditions;
