Are Your Clients Protected from Environmental Liabilities?
Environmental risks are often overlooked, but they can lead to costly liabilities. As a wholesale broker specializing in environmental insurance, Argosy Risk Specialists provides expert guidance to help businesses of all sizes navigate these complex issues.
Argosy Risk Specialists – Expertise You Can Trust
Led by Tanya Andolsen, a 29-year industry veteran, Argosy Risk Specialists understands environmental insurance. Tanya’s experience with top organizations and close collaboration with industry leaders has established her as a recognized expert in environmental coverage. She has witnessed firsthand the development of key insurance coverages and underwriting guidelines that shaped today’s environmental insurance market.
“It’s important for agents and brokers to understand the value of working with Argosy Risk Specialists,” says Tanya. “Over the years, I’ve seen too many companies left uninsured or underinsured when it comes to environmental liabilities. Often, that happens because brokers just don’t have the expertise to handle these complex risks.”
Partnering for Success
As an active board member of the Insurance Board of Northern Ohio, Tanya works closely with independent agents, who often lack specialized internal resources. For these agents, knowing who to reach out to for expert advice on environmental insurance is key to staying competitive and effectively serving their clients.
Addressing Environmental Risks – It’s Not Just About Hazardous Materials
A common misconception is that pollution only refers to hazardous or toxic materials. In reality, pollution encompasses any substance or form of energy introduced into an environment that causes harm. Often times this includes non-toxic substances in excessive amounts. Pollution can damage property, cause bodily injury, and lead to costly cleanup efforts. Unfortunately, most standard property and casualty insurance policies exclude pollution-related risks, creating significant coverage gaps that could result in substantial financial losses.
The Challenge
With over 40 carriers offering environmental insurance and a wide range of coverage options available, identifying the most appropriate protection at a competitive price requires specialized expertise. By partnering with a knowledgeable broker such as Argosy Risk Specialists, agents can help ensure their clients’ businesses are adequately protected, mitigating the risk of uncovered environmental exposures and reducing the potential for errors and omissions liability.
