Environmental impairment liability (EIL) is the most comprehensive policy available for businesses to protect themselves against the cost of claims for pollution. It has been developed to cover the gaps in both standard public liability wordings and the Bartoline extension, and includes statutory costs payable as a result of gradual or historical pollution.
EIL insurance also covers the costs of:
Legal defence
Environmental clean-ups
Reversal of damage to biodiversity
Compensation to third-parties for bodily injury or loss of business
Repair of third-party property
