Common claims scenarios
Problem: A remediation contractor came in to clean up and remove the mold growing in a client’s residential home. Years later, mold continued to grow and caused a decrease in the home’s air quality.
Outcome: The client sues the contractor $1,000,000 for bodily injury and property loss, which was covered by their Pollution Liability Insurance.
Problem: Jim, a renovations contractor removes asbestos while doing a bathroom renovation. Unfortunately, he didn’t remove all of it, which reduced the air quality in the household and breathing problem for one of the children.
Outcome: The client sues Jim, who never insured his business with a Commercial Pollution Liability policy. As a result, he does not have adequate coverage and must pay $500,000 in damages.
