Answer:

is strictly liable for all harms.

Step-by-step explanation:

William's company deals in transportation of all the chemicals between various companies. As he is transporter, he is liable for any kind of default in transport of chemicals, or delivery associated with it.

Accordingly when there is an accident and there is failure in the form of spilling of chemicals then he shall be held liable to get it all clean, and if there are any fines on such environmental destruction.

This basically involves the basic understanding of responsibility towards any such transportation.
