LOSS SCENARIOS
Consider the following scenarios in the context of your own company. Many of today's insurance
policies would not adequately protect a business from these types of losses.
A lease operation has a well blowout. Numerous residents in the area are affected by well debris and fluids
from the blowout. The blowout is difficult and expensive to contain, exhausting the lease operation's
Operators Extra Expense (OEE) policy limit. Because the OEE has been exhausted, the pollution
component of that policy is unavailable to respond. However, the Chubb pollution liability policy and umbrella
policy were available to pay for cleanup in the area. Total damages exceeded $6,000,000.
A workover contractor has a severe automobile accident that results in a liability claim for $2,000,000. The
Chubb automobile policy responds for the first $1,000,000, and the Chubb umbrella responds for the second
$1,000,000. Because the automobile policy is not aggregating the umbrella policy will also not be
aggregated, and will be available for other claims the insured might have in that policy term.

STABILITY
You can count on Chubb to be there when you have a loss. The member insurers of the Chubb
Group of Insurance Companies consistently earn high ratings from A.M. Best for financial stability and from
Standard & Poor's and Moody's for claim-paying ability.
