NEW YORK (Business Wire) -- Today, American International Group, Inc. (NYSE: AIG) introduced OSHA
Counsel Assist (“OSHA Assist”), an enhancement to general liability
programs for construction clients that provides policyholders with legal
support and additional limits if a work place injury or death results in
an investigation by OSHA.
“Supporting clients in their effort to meet and exceed OSHA standards
for safety on construction sites is critically important to AIG,” said
Tom Grandmaison, EVP and Construction Casualty Leader, AIG US and
Canada. “Equally important is our commitment to ensure the financial
stability – and ultimate completion – of the buildings, bridges,
schools, and other important construction projects in which our clients
are involved.”
Specifically, OSHA Assist provides expanded general liability coverage
that includes:
Access to representation from a selection of expert legal counsel
specializing in OSHA litigation;
Access to legal advice to address arbitration issues directly
affiliated with an OSHA investigation; and
Reimbursement of defense costs up to a specified aggregate limit for
as long as a Chartis-approved legal advocate is retained during OSHA
proceedings.
