Overview
Contractors are exposed to a wide variety of liabilities imposed by regulatory authorities and/or the contractual requirements of individual clients. What’s more, gradual pollution conditions may become evident long after a project is completed – leaving contractors and property owners suddenly liable many months or even years later.
The flexibility of AIG’s environmental impairment coverage can accommodate a large selection of businesses with operational processes including, but not limited to, construction projects, property developers, chemical manufacturers, power producers, printers, metal fabricators, laboratories, as well as educational establishments, medical centers, retailers and real estate.
