Contractor’s environmental legal liability refers to the contractor’s legal obligation to answer for damages or losses arising from environmental harm caused by their operations. From spills of hazardous materials to improper disposal of toxic chemicals, mistakes or accidents in jobsite practices can significantly disrupt project timelines, overburden contractors with costly legal fees and damage their reputations. This type of liability can be covered through a comprehensive contractors environmental insurance policy, safeguarding construction businesses from crippling costs in the event of a pollution incident.
A contractors environmental insurance policy covers the following:
- Bodily injuries that occur as a result of pollution incidents
- Property or environmental damage
- Cleanup costs associated with restoring contaminated sites
With environmental liability insurance, your business can better manage pollution incidents and reduce their impact on your operations, allowing you to focus on delivering projects on time and on budget.
An example of a contractor pollution liability claim is a diesel fuel leak from construction machinery like a bulldozer, resulting in runoff that impacts soil or a nearby body of water. In addition to costly regulatory sanctions and cleanup expenses, a pollution incident like this can cause lasting damage to the environment and neighboring communities if not addressed quickly and effectively. Contractors environmental insurance mitigates losses resulting from environmental incidents and allows construction businesses to resume work as soon as possible.
Astrus uniquely structures every contractors environmental insurance program based on the specific needs of the contactor, their risk profile and their project.
