Insurance Services Programs

WSP Environment & Energy has a unique niche in the environmental insurance industry. Our experience and knowledge give WSP Environment & Energy a level of expertise that is rarely provided by full-service environmental consulting firms.

Documentation for Environmental Policy Applications

WSP Environment & Energy knows what types of information brokers and underwriters need to evaluate insurance applications. We enhances a company's ability to obtain environmental insurance coverage by compiling this information in an organized and understandable format. Providing the correct information in an appropriate format enables insurance carriers to offer the insured the broadest possible coverage. When warranted, WSP Environment & Energy develops remediation cost estimates based on the site conditions.

Management for Insured Locations

After an environmental insurance policy is bound, the insured must fulfill detailed obligations. Ignoring or misunderstanding them can result in disputes if there is a claim. These obligations, which are usually stipulated in the policies, include ongoing reporting requirements, requirements for approvals of plans or contractors, and notification of insured events. Our experience with environmental insurance policies enables us to ferret out and fulfill these obligations for our clients to add comfort that the insured obtains the maximum benefit from the policy it purchased.

Insurance Claims Evaluations and Litigation Support

The principals and staff of WSP Environment & Energy stood at the forefront of the development of environmental claims management. We are routinely retained by insureds and insurers to coordinate and compile the technical information and the remedial costing information to support claims against insurers or to defend against claims being made to insurers. WSP Environment & Energy understands the critical elements of claims management, including the coverages against which claims are made, the risks associated with pollution conditions, and the remediation costs.

WSP Environment & Energy's experience in both environmental claims and remediation qualifies the firm as an expert for purposes of litigation and WSP Environment & Energy's senior personnel have extensive experience serving as expert witnesses in insurance litigation issues
