Contractor’s Pollution Liability and Consultants Professional Liability

Nuts & Bolts: Burns & Wilcox launched a new environmental program with ACE Westchester Specialty Group Environmental for environmental contractors and consultants. Westchester Specialty Group will provide coverage on an excess and surplus lines basis through Westchester Surplus Lines Insurance Company and Illinois Union Insurance Company, part of the ACE Group of Companies.

The program targets small environmental and non-environmental contractors, as well as environmental consultants with annual revenues up to $2.5 million. 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 and professional liability.

Burns & Wilcox will market, rate, quote, bind and issue the policies and will handle policy servicing and include in-house claims handling. ACE Westchester Specialty’s Environmental Div. offers contractors pollution liability/premises pollution liability.

Dollars: Available limits of liability will range from $500,000/$500,000 to $2 million/$2 million (per occurrence and in the aggregate). Minimum annual premium for the program is $2,500.
