Nuts & Bolts:
Burns & Wilcox launched a new environmental program with ACE Westchester Specialty Group Environmental for environmental contractors and consultants.

Contractors may be eligible for stand-alone contractors’ pollution liability. Environmental contractors and consultants who qualify may also be eligible for supporting lines of coverage including general liability and professional liability.

Burns & Wilcox will market, rate, quote, bind and issue the policies and will handle policy servicing, including in-house claims handling.

ACE Westchester Specialty’s Environmental Division offers contractors pollution liability and premises pollution liability. In addition, general liability, professional liability and excess liability coverages may be available to environmental risks such as environmental contractors and environmental consultants who qualify for this program.
