General Liability Insurance for Oil and Gas Companiesoil-pump

General liability insurance enhanced with customized umbrella policies is very important to the protection of businesses in the energy industry. Oil and Gas liability insurance provides liability coverage for catastrophic events such as explosions, collapses and accidents resulting in personal injury and or death.

Pollution & Environmental Liability Insurance for Energy Companies

oil-storage-tanksPollution and environmental liability insurance is another especially important insurance product for companies servicing the energy industries, where there is a greater inherent risk of liability. In the energy industry the risk of spills is high, with potentially catastrophic damages. The traditional General Liability policy typically excludes coverage for pollution and cleanup, leaving significant exposure in the event of a spill. Variations of the Pollution policy also throw in an element of timing, imposing limits on what is covered and the duration. It takes an insurance professional to assess risks and negotiate policy terms and conditions.

Umbrella Insurance for the Energy Industry

Umbrella Policies help cover losses above the underlying limits of other policies such as General Liability, Workers Comp and Commercial Auto. Due to inherently catastrophic nature of the Oil & Gas Industry, these Umbrella Policies must be crafted in such a manner so as to ensure the insured has coverage in the event of a peril.
