Insurance Legal Liability

POLLUTION LEGAL LIABILITY INSURANCE
The pollution liabilities of institutions of higher learning can emanate from various sources and may erupt in contamination suddenly or gradually
over time. Institutions face potential pollution exposure for contamination caused by a leaking storage tank or mold spreading in dormitories and
other facilities. Potential exposure may surface when a pollution condition lurks undetected until breaking ground on a new facility or property. Even
the improper handling of potentially contaminating cleaning, pool or laboratory chemicals can create both costly pollution clean-up costs and third
party liabilities.
All of these diverse environmental risks have one thing in common—they are typically not covered under an institution’s general liability policy.
They can, however, be explicitly covered under AIG Higher Education Risk Solutions® Pollution Legal Liability Insurance.
Our AIG Higher Education Risk Solutions Pollution Legal Liability policy provides broad coverage for the spectrum of environmental risks that can
come with owning or operating a property. Coverage can be tailored to address on- and off-site pollution liabilities, liabilities arising from the trans-
portation or disposal of contaminating materials, and business interruption caused by pollution conditions. Insured institutions also benefit from the
far-reaching support of dedicated environmental engineers, who help insureds prevent and control losses. Specialized environmental emergency
response services can help institutions respond quickly and efficiently to emergencies in order to minimize both the duration of an incident and the
resulting damage.
Rising to Today’s Challenges
AIG Higher Education Risk Solutions Pollution Legal Liability Insurance can be tailored to include:
• Coverage for on-site clean-up of pre-existing or new pollution conditions triggered by first party discovery or third party claims
• Coverage for third party claims for on- or off-site bodily injury and property damage arising from pollution conditions
• Coverage for third party claims for off-site clean-up resulting from pre-existing or new pollution conditions
• Coverage for third party claims for on- or off-site clean-up, bodily injury or property damage at scheduled non-owned locations
• Coverage for pollution conditions resulting from transported cargo (whether transported by a third party carrier or an owned vehicle)
• First party coverage for business interruption, actual loss, or loss of rental value due to on-site pollution conditions
• First party diminution in value coverage
Preventing Losses, Assessing Exposures, Responding to Crises
The services of an experienced environmental engineer eases and expedites the underwriting and application process for our insureds, while also helping
institutions prevent and mitigate losses. These engineering services range from risk assessment surveys, to clean-up management, to asset evaluations
for mergers and acquisitions. Recommendations can also be provided to assist insureds in complying with environmental laws and regulations.
AIG Higher Education Risk Solutions insureds can also take advantage of The PIER II (Pollution Incident and Environmental Response) Program to
optimize their response to environmental incidents and help mitigate losses. The program provides immediate access to a nationwide network of
emergency and secondary response specialists; a program manager to coordinate program activities; and an advisory board of experts to counsel
institutions through incidents. Post-incident oversight and management is also provided.
PIER II can be combined with two additional programs:

from workplace violence to chemical/biological terrorism; and
