What Insurance Covers Environmental Contamination?
Pollution liability may cover specified cleanup costs and third-party claims from contamination, subject to site and known-condition terms.
Pollution policies may require scheduled sites and can exclude known conditions or use a retroactive date.
Check pollutant definitions, scheduled locations, cleanup grants, known-condition exclusions, and claims-made dates. Confirm the specific sites and activities you need covered.
