Oil Remediation Insurance Coverage refers to a type of insurance policy that provides financial protection to individuals, businesses, or organizations against the costs associated with cleaning up and remediating environmental damage caused by oil spills or leaks. This coverage is particularly important for industries, businesses, or individuals involved in the storage, transportation, or use of oil and petroleum products, as well as for property owners with potential oil contamination risks.
