An apt comment that we often hear captures the complexities of navigating environmental claims: "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." With this in mind, Willis Towers Watson created a dedicated environmental claims advocacy network, the first of its kind in depth and scope.
