There are two points that need to be highlighted from the case above:
1. Astor Manufacturing process has fulfilled all of its safety regulation for storing the dangerous product.
2. The dangerous product owned by Astor Manufacturing caused William's injury.
The regulations for hazard management is created by the government, and the leak is not caused by their negligence. It's caused by unexpected natural disaster. This is why we can't say that Astor is guilty to any violation.
But still, the chemical that they created injured William. The court will most likely force Astor to be responsible for all the medical expenses incurred by william.
