CPL Coverage Built for Every Contractor's Pollution Risk

Standard general liability policies routinely exclude pollution events — leaving contractors exposed to costly cleanup demands, third-party injury claims, and regulatory actions with no coverage in place. Soma works with specialty carriers including Chubb, Kinsale, and Markel to place Contractors Pollution Liability coverage that addresses the real exposures contractors face: fuel and chemical spills, mold and microbial contamination, dust and particulate releases, and asbestos disturbance. With one application and a fast quote turnaround, Soma gets contractors properly insured where others can't.
