Overview of the Program From Environmental Insurance Agency
Environmental Insurance Agency offers a focused Environmental Consultants Insurance program built for the liability exposures faced by environmental professionals. As an Excess & Surplus Lines broker, we deliver market access to leading E&S carriers — including AIG, Liberty, Lloyds of London, Zurich, XL and others — so you can place difficult or unique risks that admitted markets often decline. The program is structured to support agents and brokers placing coverage for consultants, testing labs, remediation contractors, and related service providers.
Ideal Accounts and Appetite
This program fits a wide range of environmental service providers, including:
- Environmental consultants and engineers
- Environmental testing and analytical laboratories
- Site assessment and remediation contractors
- Hazardous material and asbestos abatement consultants
Typical fits: a small consulting firm performing Phase I and II site assessments, or a regional analytical lab conducting soil and water testing. We also consider more complex accounts — multi-state operations, projects with higher limits, or contractors performing remediation — provided full underwriting information and loss history are available.
Coverage Highlights and Advantages
- Flexible package options: Commercial General Liability (CGL), Contractors Pollution Liability (CPL), and Professional Liability available as bundled or standalone coverages
- Claims-made professional liability that responds to errors, omissions, contamination events, and related bodily injury or property damage claims
- Policy limits up to $10 million to support larger or higher-exposure accounts
- Underwriting adaptable for small boutique firms through larger regional operations
The program helps insureds manage exposures from site contamination, inaccurate reporting, testing errors, and regulatory compliance issues. Bundled coverage can simplify placement and reduce gaps between professional and pollution exposures.
Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premiums
Minimum premium for this program starts at $2,500. Underwriters will evaluate the scope of services, types of projects, geographic reach, safety controls, and past loss history. For more complex or remediation-heavy accounts, detailed proposals, contracts, client lists, and loss runs will speed placement and improve terms.
Territories and Availability
This Environmental Consultants Insurance program is available across the U.S. with admitted options in select states and non-admitted placements where needed. We currently offer coverage in all 50 states plus DC. Admitted availability varies by state; when admitted placement is required, let us know the state early so we can confirm options.
