Many, but not all, environmental insurance policies provide coverage for both sudden and accidental and gradual pollution releases. … Sudden & Accidental is typically a coverage enhancement on a Contractors Pollution Liability, Site Pollution Liability, or Package policy for an environmental facility.


As a supplement to the General Terms and Conditions No…… for Public and Product liability insurance does not apply to bodily injury and property damage arising out of the discharge, dispersal or other release (e.g.spilling, leaking, emitting or pouring) of smoke, vapours, soot, fumes, acids, alkalis, toxic chemicals, liquids or gases, waste materials or other irritants, contaminations or pollutants into or upon land, the atmosphere, or any water cause or body of water, with the exception of such discharge, dispersal or release where the following 5 (five) conditions are present :

Until such proof is accepted by the Insurer, the Insurer may, but is not obliged to, defend any claim.
