Accurately determining the timing and origin of pollution is essential, as it falls upon the policyholder to demonstrate that the pollution occurred within the policy period. These reviews are vital not only for establishing liability but also for substantiating third-party impacts.
By analyzing the environmental condition, Restorical Research can effectively trace the onset and source of pollution, aiding in the recovery of costs incurred by their clients.
