Overview

Overview

Owning, developing or operating properties, disposal sites, contracting operations and transportation businesses comes with the risk for environmental exposures that result in pollution. If something were to happen, where would your customers turn? It's important to be prepared ahead of time and know how to navigate the risks.

That's why we've developed AXIS Pollution Legal Liability Insurance. It provides flexible environmental solutions that mitigate the environmental risks facing property owners, operators and buyer/sellers from site ownership. From coverage for cleanup costs, to third-party damage or injury, to defense against injury and more, our pollution legal liability insurance offers peace of mind for the unexpected.

Coverage backed by the exceptional financial strength and solid claims-paying ability of the AXIS insurance companies
