    General description

    An examination of the US plaintiffs’ bar’s efforts to use “public nuisance” tort liability theories to shift the burden of paying for broad societal harms from taxpayers and local governments to large corporations. We will also discuss what implications it could have for large corporations should these legal theories be accepted by the courts as a viable legal basis for determining liability.

    Contents

    • Overview of public nuisance tort theories
    • What are the alleged damages/remedies in this context? Are they potentially covered by insurance? Do they impact current and/or legacy years of coverage?
