It is important to recognize that not all pollution policies are the same, and that many policies do not address all of the potential exposures. It is also important to understand that all policies contain exclusions that can impact the degree of coverage provided. Common examples exclude claims resulting from intentional acts or willful non-compliance with environmental regulations.

The key to purchasing effective coverage for these exposures is to work with insurance carriers that are experienced with the class and are actively seeking to write the business. Claims paying history, responsiveness, and service are key elements to be reviewed when deciding between carriers. Scope of coverage being offered can be significantly different between companies, so choosing carefully is important.

In order to get the best terms from industry-leading carriers, insureds should provide the right information. Sites, facilities, and portfolios require unique information to underwrite. While some companies will provide indications of pricing based on limited information, to get the best coverage, the insured needs to submit complete information.
