Journal Article · · Insur. Couns. J.; (United States)
OSTI ID:7011793
The handling of Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) litigation introduces a new challenge to defense attorneys and insurance claims personnel. The authors focus on those aspects of the CERCLA case which are unique in comparison to other property damage or personal injury litigation, and discuss the effect upon defense strategies and insurance coverage issues. They note in conclusion that alternative claims are often raised by the government based upon other federal and state statutes and common law. Private individuals may also file a separate but related suit.
