Most Accidents Are Caused by Human Error
Accidents happen. Sometimes equipment breaks down. In the majority of cases, human error is a factor. Add to that the fact that we live in a time when we are constantly creating new forms of pollution. The repercussions your business could face from toxic spills, contamination, or environmental pollution may include:
- Environmental Lawsuits
- Government Fines
- Exorbitant Environmental Cleanup Costs

Types of Pollution Insurance
Pollution insurance can be quite complex and covers the costs of cleanup and restoration plus liability claims related to the pollution event. Our Huronia Insurance brokers can help you understand the different types of pollution insurance that would be covered under your environmental liability insurance policy including:
- Sudden or Accidental Pollution Insurance – This insurance is set for a specific discovery and reporting time period and covers both property damage and bodily injury. This insurance does not cover gradual loss over time.
- Broad Form (Gradual) Pollution Insurance – This insurance protects you against contamination from pollution that may occur over an extended time period.
- Site Pollution Insurance – This insurance offers protection against both on-site and external causes of pollution.
- Third-Party Pollution Insurance – This insurance coverage offers protection in the event that the site itself is the cause of the pollution or contamination.
- Errors and Omissions Insurance
- Business Interruption Insurance
Understanding How Pollution Insurance Works
Will your environmental liability insurance policy cover damage and cleanup costs on third party sites or just your own site? Will it also cover government fines, remediation and removal costs, and any property damages?
As your environmental liability insurance broker, we will make sure that you fully understand how your liability insurance works including:
- What your insurance coverage includes
- What is excluded in your insurance policy
- What your deductions will be for the specific coverages
