Who Should Pay the Costs of Environmental Cleanup?

Whether you represent the insurer or the insured, the potential costs can run into the millions if your client is found liable. To help you effectively represent your client, this comprehensive, two-volume treatise will walk you through the complexities of environmental insurance coverage. This treatise will provide you with clear and concise analysis of:

• federal statutes, such as CERCLA, RCRA, NEPA, TSCA, EPCRA, OPCA, the Refuse Act, CWA, CAA, and the state analogs;
• the particular insurance policies at issue;
• reinssurance;
• case preparation and discovery;
• jurisdiction, venue and choice of law; and
• scientific and technical considerations--environmental assessment and remediation techniques.
