Vantage Group extends pollution insurance offering

Vantage Group Holdings has looked to help environmental contractors and consultants to get cover for rising environmental liability exposures.

Bermuda-based Vantage said it has extended its contractors’ pollution liability and professional liability offerings to environmental contractors and consultants.

Vantage said this was an expansion of the company’s participation across the design and construction lifecycle.

Vantage said its pollution and professional liability policies for environmental risks complement the company's expertise and strong portfolio of insurance products for the US construction industry, including subcontractor default insurance, excess casualty and professional liability lines.

Vantage environmental coverages are written on a non-admitted basis nationwide and will be available as primary or excess coverage.

"The construction team at Vantage is pleased to offer this new stand-alone protection to large, midsize and trade contractors and consultants, when environmental liability exposures are greater than ever," said Jason LaMonica, head of construction & environmental.

"I'm pleased to share that Michael Dannecker will lead our environmental offerings reporting to Lawrence Lejfer, head of construction professional & environmental. Lawrence and I are confident in Michael's deep expertise and commitment to serving our brokers and clients," LaMonica added.
