Rich Corbett, head of XL Insurance’s Global Environment unit said that previously, contractor's pollution liability coverage typically offered protection at an insured contractor's jobsite only," He said XL’s new policy covers a contractor's owned location and follows contractors through various phases of the job and wherever the project may take them. The coverage protects contractors from the time they leave their office to the job site and even moves with them as they move construction and demolition debris to a disposal site.

The new professional liability coverage includes Mitigation Expense to correct issues resulting from an act, error or omission in professional services that may arise on a project before the issue results in a third party claim and costly litigation. The Emergency Remediation and Mitigation Expense coverages allow a client to minimize or eliminate third party claims, therefore protecting the insured's reputation and financial health.
