Environmental Insurance, also known as Pollution Liability Insurance, fills a massive gap in standard business policies by covering the cleanup costs and legal liability associated with pollution events. Whether it’s a slow leak from a storage tank or a sudden chemical spill, this coverage protects your company’s balance sheet from the crushing costs of environmental remediation and regulatory fines.
Environmental regulations are strict and “joint and several,” meaning you can be held liable for contamination even if you weren’t the sole cause. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), cleanup costs for soil and groundwater contamination can easily reach hundreds of thousands of dollars. Standard General Liability policies contain absolute “pollution exclusions,” leaving businesses completely exposed to these risks.
We design policies to cover both sudden accidents and gradual pollution events.
Most direct quotes only cover the basics in the left column. We shop multiple carriers to secure the critical add-ons in the right column that actually protect your livelihood.
| Risk Area | Standard General Liability | Pollution Liability Policy |
|---|---|---|
| Sudden Accidental Spill | ✖ Excluded | ✔ Covered |
| Gradual Leaks | ✖ Excluded | ✔ Covered |
| Mold Remediation | ✖ Excluded | ✔ Covered (Endorsement) |
| Regulatory Fines | ✖ Excluded | ✔ Covered |
