Pollution Liability insurance covers claims related to environmental damage, contamination, and cleanup costs.

‍

This video explains when pollution liability is required, which industries commonly need it, and why general liability policies often exclude pollution-related claims. This policy type commonly appears during certificate of insurance (COI) review and is often tied to contract compliance and tracking requirements.

Why this matters: Environmental exposure is commonly excluded from standard liability policies.

When pollution liability is required by contract, relying on general liability typically results in automatic COI non-compliance. Understanding this policy improves certificate review accuracy and compliance tracking for environmental risk.
