Can More Than One Business Be Responsible for a Toxic Exposure?

Yes. Depending on the facts, more than one person or organization could share responsibility. Finding a hazardous substance is only one part of an environmental injury case. The next question is who created, released, sold, controlled, or failed to address the hazard.

A claim may involve chemical companies, property owners, landlords, contractors, industrial operators, waste disposal companies, product distributors, or employers and third parties at a worksite. Each of those roles calls for its own factual and legal investigation.
