In the case of contaminated water, couldn't the insurance company seek sane recourse from the polluters? Usually in cases where contaminated water is a factor in the health of a community, the contamination and perpetrator is known.

As for power lines.. well, there haven't really been any conclusive studies in this area. But you get the point.

Same-environment shouldn't be a factor, as long as the reasons the environment might impact health are/can be known.

I'd argue that nobody should be living somewhere that might have health risks involved (e.g., underground oil spills, toxic ash, a radioactive waste storage facility a block away from the elementary school .... in other words, williamsburg/greenpoint brooklyn).



There was probably some ass-covering going on in the insurance company asked.
