Protection against pollution incidents

Environmental pollution risks are usually complex. Some pollution incidents can result from a sudden and accidental event, while others may develop slowly and take years to be discovered. MCM Agency works with multiple carriers to offer products specifically designed for your customer’s Pollution Liability needs. 

Contractors Pollution Liability

General and specialty trade contractors face many pollution risks stemming from operations at their job sites, including contaminated soil disposal and the accidental release of fuel oil; chemicals and/or toxic gases from broken pipelines; utilities; and stationary and mobile fuel tanks.

Contractors Pollution Liability (CPL) provides coverage for third-party claims for bodily injury and/or property damage. It will also help cover the cost of remediation stemming from pollution incidents resulting from the contractor’s covered operations.

You may customize the policy by adding off-site transportation coverage and exposures at non-owned locations.

Premises and Storage Tank Pollution Liability

Pollution Liability isn’t just a concern for contractors. Many types of risks, including manufacturers, automobile/truck dealers, gas stations, convenience stores, medical/dental offices, printers and dry cleaning operations have the potential to experience an environmental claim. Despite safety protocols, accidental spills still happen, and above and below ground storage tanks may eventually leak.
