Asbestos Insurance FAQs

Asbestos insurance typically provides coverage for liability and property damage related to asbestos exposure or removal. This can include legal expenses if a claim is made against you for asbestos-related issues, as well as expenses for asbestos abatement or remediation. It’s important to note that this insurance does not cover health issues caused by asbestos exposure, which is usually covered under different policies.

Generally, home insurance does not cover the cost of asbestos removal. Most home insurance policies exclude coverage for pollution, which includes asbestos. However, if asbestos is disturbed due to a covered peril, such as a fire or storm damage, a policy might cover the costs of removal as part of the repair process. It’s best to check your specific policy for details.
