Abstract
This paper analyzes the theories of liability that are relevant to the business of transporting hazardous materials. I shall set those theories in their functional environment, of which they are creatures, and shall also describe them against the background of the policies that undergird them. I shall then explore the implications of liability rules for transportation of hazardous materials, and conclude with some observations, relevant to the particular subject, on the role of liability rules in society.
