Presentation Abstract:  Vapor Intrusion clean-ups are challenging, but owners, developers and consultants need to also be aware of litigation risks from “risk-based” closures. This presentation by environmental litigation partner Charlie Denton will discuss and review pitfalls from environmental continuing due care obligations, and from migrating vapor intrusion toxic tort claims. What sorts of remedies are being ordered by courts in these lawsuits, and what is the significance of a class action? Moreover, as federal and state agencies are perceived to be more business friendly, non-governmental organizations are raising record funds and pursuing novel environmental citizens’ suits, as well as filing judicial challenges to environmental rulemaking. Can insurance help manage these risks? How can you balance these lawsuit risks against the feasible remedial alternatives?
