Environmental insurance isn’t just for contractors who work with hazardous substances. Virtually any type of construction activity has the potential for resulting in a costly environmental incident. Contractor’s Pollution Liability (CPL) is a vital coverage that can help protect a wide variety of contractors from financial disaster. Yet many general and subcontractors don’t realize they need it.
At C&S Specialty Underwriters, our Environmental Package policy offers Commercial General Liability and Contractor’s Pollution Liability for environmental contractors, Commercial General Liability and Professional Liability for environmental consultants, and monoline Contractor’s Pollution Liability for non-environmental contractors. All combined policies are written on an ISO commercial general liability based forms.
Some contractors are contractually required to purchase CPL coverage as part of working on an individual construction project. Even those contractors that aren’t required to purchase CPL should consider purchasing it as part of a basic asset protection/risk management plan. One environmental incident can financially devastate a general contractor or subcontractor.
We provide coverage for bodily injury, property damage and cleanup costs arising from operations of the policyholder. Perhaps even more important, there’s a broad pollution definition that includes fungi, bacteria, allergens and electronic magnetic fields. Not all environmental coverage is created equal — it’s important to compare coverages. The only thing worse than being uninsured for environmental risks is being underinsured.
