Liability Overview
Liability Considerations in Charleston
Charleston residents near the Union Carbide/Covestro South Charleston facility benefit from the Fourth Circuit's recognition of medical monitoring claims, allowing exposed individuals to recover cancer screening costs before diagnosis. Union Carbide's corporate history — including the catastrophic 1984 Bhopal disaster — establishes a pattern of prioritizing production over safety that directly supports negligence and punitive damages arguments. West Virginia's 2-year statute of limitations from diagnosis applies.
