How later courts describe this case

  • directives from regulatory agency, indicating possibility of CERCLA liability, do not trigger duty to defend
  • costs incurred in taking preventative measures to avert possible future health risks do not represent current "property damage"
  • "Under the LHWCA, workers' compensation is the exclusive remedy for an injured employee against his employer."
  • cleanup costs are not “damages”
