Legends Environmental Services offers a robust Contractors Pollution Insurance policy designed for contractors who face pollution exposures during construction, maintenance, demolition, abatement and emergency response work. This program provides broad third-party coverage for bodily injury, property damage and environmental impairment claims — including cleanup and response costs both on and off the work site — where Commercial General Liability often provides limited or no recovery for pollution-related losses. Target Classes General Contractors Construction Managers Street and Road Contractors Maintenance Contractors Electrical Contractors Mechanical Contractors Demolition Contractors Environmental Contractors Aboveground and Underground Storage Tank Contractors Site Restoration and Cleanup Contractors Response Action/Emergency Spill Response Contractors Transformer/PCB Contractors Trade Contractors HVAC Contractors Industrial Contractors Overview — Program from Legends Environmental Services As a Brokerage General Agency, Legends Environmental Services places Contractors Pollution accounts with multiple markets to give agents access to broader environmental coverage than typical CGL endorsements. The program targets contractors with known pollutant-handling or disturbance exposures and can be structured for both project-specific and annual operations exposures. Coverage is underwritten to address third-party liability and remediation/cleanup costs arising from sudden and accidental releases as well as certain non-sudden conditions, depending on underwriting and market selection. Coverage Highlights and Advantages Broad third-party pollution liability for bodily injury, property damage and environmental impairment. Coverage for on-site and off-site impacts and related cleanup costs where available by market. Project-specific and annual policies available depending on scope and exposure. Ability to access multiple carriers and markets to fit uncommon or higher-risk operations. Companion products available for abatement and asbestos/lead exposures to provide broader risk management solutions. Ideal Accounts and Appetite You should consider this program for contractors that disturb, handle, remove or transport regulated materials or operate where spills, leaks or contamination are realistic exposures. Typical good fits include: Contractors performing tank removal, replacement or remediation. Demolition and renovation firms that may encounter asbestos, lead or other contaminants. Environmental remediation and emergency spill response contractors. Electrical/transformer contractors working with PCBs or oil-filled equipment. Accounts that typically require more focused review include long-term landfill work, sites with known legacy contamination without an effective remediation plan, or operations with persistent off-site migration risk. Contact us early on those exposures — we can often find market solutions or define reasonable restrictions. Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premium Standard submissions should include a completed CPO application. For project work, supply job specifications, background engineering reports and product descriptions. Legends Environmental Services places most accounts through multiple available markets (admitted and non-admitted where appropriate), so underwriting will consider the nature of the work, pollution controls in place, historical loss activity and client risk management practices.
