Liability Overview

Liability Considerations in Marietta

Marietta residents living in the Cobb County exposure zone around the Sterigenics Smyrna facility face elevated cancer risk documented by EPA AirToxScreen data. The $363 million Kamuda verdict established that Georgia juries will hold EtO emitters accountable for community cancer caused by negligent emissions. Marietta-area residents diagnosed with lymphoma, breast cancer, or leukemia should consult an attorney immediately given Georgia's 2-year statute of limitations from diagnosis.
