Sudden and Accidental Pollution Clause Samples
The Sudden and Accidental Pollution clause defines coverage for pollution-related incidents that occur unexpectedly and unintentionally, rather than as a result of gradual or ongoing processes. This clause typically applies to insurance policies, specifying that only pollution events that are both abrupt and unforeseen—such as a chemical spill caused by an equipment malfunction—are eligible for coverage. Its core function is to limit the insurer’s liability by excluding long-term or anticipated pollution, thereby clarifying the scope of protection and reducing disputes over what constitutes a covered event.
