Willis

"When it comes to pollution insurance, it doesn't make any difference how much we save on the policy premium if the policy isn't going to pay when we need it." This is a comment we often hear about environmental insurance and with this in mind, Willis created a dedicated environmental claims advocacy network, the first of its kind in depth and scope.

Environmental claims present a unique challenge to each company, not only from a regulatory standpoint, but from financial, technical and data processing perspectives as well. Willis believes that environmental claims consulting services should be just as specialized. Our goal is to shepherd you through the claims process, from submission through successful resolution.
