New Jersey court upholds asbestos verdict
Tuesday, April 6, 2010
New Jersey Law Journal: A New Jersey appeals court has upheld a $30 million verdict for the family of a 50-year-old man who died from mesothelioma related to his exposure to asbestos. Mary Pat Gallagher reports “the appeals judges agreed with Superior Court Judge Brian Martinotti that the ‘frequency, regularity and proximity’ test for asbestosis cases should be viewed differently in the context of a claim involving mesothelioma which, unlike asbestosis, can develop from infrequent exposure to a relatively small amount of asbestos.”
