Pollution is a coverage seldom
discussed today UNLESS you have a claim for which your regular insurance program
does not provide coverage. The level of awareness of pollution claims may
have diminished, but companies are still spending millions of dollars every year
to solve their problems.
You are in the automobile dealership
business, therefore you have a pollution exposure. In your day to
day operations, even the best procedures in place, you are still susceptible to
a major pollution claim.
A task as simple as cleaning your
service area floor could result in a pollution claim costing you thousands of
dollars to settle. Why? Because the wash water contains brake cleaner
fluid, oil, asbestos from brakes, and many other hazardous substances commonly
found in the service area. If your porter continually pours the wash water
down the wrong drain, i.e. the municipal sewer, you have just invited the
Environmental Protection Agency to come knocking on your door.
The Preferred Dealer Protection
program offers the most comprehensive pollution product available in today's
marketplace. Automobile Dealers' Pollution Legal Liability coverage is easy to
understand, competitively priced and provides optional coverage for Pollution
Legal Liability, Underground Storage Tanks or both.
