Liability Overview
Liability Considerations in Fairfax
Fairfax County residents near EtO-emitting facilities must navigate Virginia's pure contributory negligence rule — one of only four states that bars recovery entirely if the plaintiff is even 1% at fault. This means EtO plaintiffs must demonstrate they did nothing to contribute to their own exposure, which is generally achievable in environmental toxic tort cases where residents had no knowledge of or control over industrial emissions. Virginia's 2-year statute of limitations from diagnosis requires immediate action.
