Eggen on Toxic Torts at Ground Zero

Jean Eggen (Widener) has posted Toxic Torts at Ground Zero on SSRN.  After analyzing the legal and medical issues involved for the Ground Zero toxic claimants, Eggen concludes:

[W]hile the tort system is the best mechanism for resolution of the Ground Zero toxic exposure claims, it is far from perfect, and…lawmakers must give serious consideration to developing a discrete and workable management plan for toxic claims in the future.
