Coverage for the Firms That Assess and Remediate
Structured around how environmental and site professionals practice, contract, and carry risk, including exposures that standard policies are typically written to exclude.
Environmental and site professionals carry exposure that most standard policies are specifically written around. Pollution exclusions in GL policies, professional liability forms that limit response to environmental claims, coverage structures not designed with remediation or site assessment work in mind.
We review the specifics of how your firm operates before making any recommendation.
Disciplines We Serve
Built Around Your Discipline
Each discipline links to a dedicated page with coverage considerations specific to how those firms practice and carry risk. All coverage is subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations of the policy as issued.
Environmental Consultants
Assessments, reporting, and advisory services tied to site conditions and regulatory requirements. Policy structure and exclusions are worth reviewing based on the services provided.
Geotechnical Engineers
Soil, foundation, and subsurface assessments that directly affect project design. Errors or incomplete data can impact structural performance downstream.
Testing Labs
Data used to support environmental, construction, and compliance decisions. Exposure tied to the accuracy and handling of that data and how results are applied.
Site Assessments
Reports may be relied upon by multiple parties over time. Coverage structured with that reliance in mind.
Remediation Consultants
Exposure may arise from how remediation is designed, implemented, or monitored. Coverage considered based on project scope and responsibility.
Industrial Hygienists
Workplace assessments related to health, safety, and hazardous material exposure. Findings can influence operational decisions and regulatory compliance.
Worth Understanding
Before You Review Your Program
The most common gap is coverage that does not reflect the nature of the work. Policies that exclude certain data types, GL that does not address field or aerial operations, cyber sublimits too low to address a real incident.
These gaps surface when a claim is filed, not at renewal.

I own a small landscape architecture firm and needed a new policy on a very tight timeline. Avi at Hardcover found a great policy that not only saved me significant money but also improved my coverage.
