Environmental Risk Overviews
The most frequent comment we hear is that insureds don’t feel they have any environmental exposures. The reality is, exposures are
varied and can be significant. Through our partnership with Environmental Risk Professionals, Environmental Risk Overview (ERO) summaries
are available upon request for a wide variety of operations and exposures. Let us help you explain the need for pollution insurance to your client.
Coverage Analysis (DCAT)
UCPM has pioneered a cutting-edge solution for quote coverage analysis. Our patented technology
makes it easy to evaluate coverage terms in the purchase decision by efficiently delivering an analysis report that:
- Identifies coverage issues
- Explains coverages in lay terms
- Shows how the quote responds to each issue
- Provides a side-by-side coverage comparison of quotes
Claims Advocacy
We provide claims advocacy that guides retail agents and their insureds through the claim reporting process.
Through our detailed knowledge of the carrier and their coverage, we can be an effective advocate in the insured’s
corner and see to it that claims are handled in a professional, fair and timely manner.
Environmental Consulting Services
Environmental insurance is a complex niche, where expertise in environmental risk and regulations matters.
UCPM has Environmental Risk Professionals on retainer, who offer extensive experience in environmental
engineering and consulting. They assist in getting needed coverage placed, whether it is reviewing site
assessment reports to negotiate with underwriters or assisting with regulatory compliance and risk management
with O&M or mold plans.
Standards-Driven Service Team
We leveraged technology to create our own proprietary agency management system that catalogs every
submission and all details relating to the account. Policy issuance, endorsement requests and broker
activities are all managed by a team of dedicated people to ensure activities are handled in a reliable
and timely manner.
Surplus Lines Filing Capabilities
Most environmental insurance is written on a surplus lines basis. The surplus lines tax filings,
deadlines and license requirements take significant time and can be costly. We take that complexity
out of the equation and can file on your behalf in all 50 states.
Market Representation
We have access to around 50 carriers that write environmental insurance, many of whom prefer to work with,
or choose to make their products only available to specialty wholesalers like UCPM. You and your client benefit
from the competitive environment that we can create by insisting that carriers come to the table with their best offerings.
Market Guide
As one of the leading producers of environmental liability and associated coverages in the country, we are looked to as respected experts in our field.

Our environmental expertise makes the difference in understanding a risk’s exposures and what coverage is needed, and knowing how to navigate the marketplace and get coverage placed. With our position as an industry leader and our relationships with carriers, we can provide the market access and carrier leverage that creates a competitive marketplace for you and your clients.
