Contractors Pollution Liability Insurance
Contractors Pollution Liability
Contractors are exposed to a wide variety of liabilities imposed by regulatory authorities and/or the contractual requirements of individual clients. What’s more, gradual pollution conditions may become evident long after a project is completed – leaving contractors and property owners suddenly liable many months or even years later.
AIG is a leading provider of Contractors Pollution Liability (CPL) coverage, designed exclusively to protect contractors, site owners and developers from losses arising from a sudden or gradual pollution release. CPL covers third-party bodily injury and property damage claims, as well as clean-up costs arising from pollution released due to covered operations.
Coverage is available worldwide and can be tailored to meet individual needs and unique insurance requirements. This cover may be purchased by property owners on behalf of contractors working on their site.
