  • Your ACE Express PPL can provide protection when the general liability policy may not. Standard property and liability policies may not cover many pollution risks. Some even contain a clause that removes all pollution coverage. In some cases, there is little or no coverage for clean-up, for gradual pollution incidents or for clean-up as a result of regulatory proceedings. Consider the following:
    • ACE Express PPL provides new conditions premises pollution liability coverage for gradual pollution problems, including both first- and third-party environmental liabilities.
    • Sudden and accidental pollution may be limited by other property-related policies.
    • First-party clean-up costs are usually not covered by CGL policies.
    • ACE Express PPL coverage is not tied to named perils.
    • ACE Express PPL coverage can be modified by endorsement to cover liability for off-site disposal of wastes at non-owned disposal sites.
    • ACE Express PPL coverage can be modified by endorsement to cover mold-related claims.
    • ACE Express PPL coverage responds to claims resulting from migrating to third-party premises.
    • ACE Express PPL provides coverage for legal costs necessary to defend covered claims.
