Environmental Insurance 101:
Using Environmental Insurance as a Risk Mitigation Tool
Using Environmental Insurance as a Risk Mitigation Tool
Do you have a basic understanding of the role environmental insurance can play in managing environmental risk? Do you sputter helplessly when a client asks you if environmental insurance could help deal with an environmental problem? Do you know the difference between Pollution Legal Liability policies, cost cap, excess of indemnity or lender’s environmental policies? What the heck is “zombie” insurance anyway? How much does environmental insurance cost, and how does an insurer decide to issue a policy (and then pay a claim?) What are the different roles of an insurance broker, underwriter, and claims adjuster?
As an environmental professional (whether you are a consultant, attorney, engineer, etc.), it’s important to have some knowledge of the available insurance options to be able to spot instances where insurance can add value and mitigate environmental risk for a property or a project.
