Aon Announces New Custom Liability Product for Railroad Industry

CHICAGO (July 1, 2014) Aon Risk Solutions, the global risk management business of Aon plc (NYSE: AON), today announced the availability of an exciting new product designed to support the railroad industry, including Class I railroads. Called the Cantilever Excess Pollution Liability product, this new offering helps to address the railroad industry’s need for insurance coverage to adequately protect the communities and environment where railroads operate. 

The coverage is designed to address specific environmental incidents and is applied over and above railroads’ existing insurance policies to appropriately insure transportation of hazardous or environmentally sensitive products.

“Aon identified a challenge facing the railroad industry and created a solution that supports our business by promoting CSX’s focus on our responsibility to the communities we serve,” said Juliana Keaton, director of insurance, CSX.

“This is a great example of Aon’s ability to listen to clients, understand their needs and build innovative products to help address their needs,” said Otis Tolbert, head of Aon Risk Solutions’ Rail Practice.

“This new product is designed to respond to the railroad industry’s sophisticated risk management needs and community objectives,” said Veronica Benzinger, managing director and chief broking officer for Aon Risk Solutions’ Environmental Services Practice. “This was a team effort, working closely with carrier partners to establish an exclusive arrangement to provide this coverage to interested Aon clients.”
