Environmental
Environmental coverage is a very specialized area of insurance that requires a deep understanding of government regulation and the potential environmental losses that could arise from your clients’ businesses. The Burns & Wilcox Environmental Center of Excellence, accessible through your local Burns & Wilcox office, provides brokers and agents with access to environmental specialists who can identify environmental exposures and deliver insurance solutions to address the specific environmental liabilities your clients may be vulnerable to.

Contractors Pollution Liability
An excavation contractor was recently ordered to pay $150,000 after its employee pierced an oil pipeline resulting in the release of 250,000 liters of crude oil into surrounding areas.
When a contractor’s work creates pollution or disturbs an existing pollution condition, the contractor can be held liable for resulting damages including costly environmental cleanup. Most contractors do not realize that even if they are not working with hazardous chemicals, they still face pollution exposures that are typically not covered by a general liability policy.

Oil and Gas
While there have been advancements in new energy sources, the world still relies heavily on oil and gas. With oil and gas supplying 65 percent of the energy for the country, it is critical that energy companies obtain the proper insurance coverage to protect against the risks associated with oil and gas exploration and the operation of heavy equipment. Oil and Gas Insurance can provide coverage for operators,service contractors, investors and more.

Storage Tanks
When operating or owning a storage tank, it is important that the tank is maintained and checked routinely. If the tank is leaking or becomes damaged, the spilled gas or oil can contaminate the neighboring area. This could result in the storage tank owner being held liable for costly clean-ups and third-party damages. These situations are not covered by standard General Liability policies and require specific coverage.
Storage Tank Coverage through Burns & Wilcox builds on general liability policies to provide coverage specific to the unique environmental needs of operating or owning a storage tank. As a leading provider of excess and specialty insurance, Burns & Wilcox can provide intelligent insurance solutions to cover your clients from environmental exposures that may cause damage to their storage systems resulting in financial strain.
