The Appellate Division upholds judgment on behalf of two LPK clients for $7,672,922.65.

The Appellate Division First Department, recently upheld a judgment on behalf of two LPK clients in the amount of $7,672,922.65 against John Crane, Inc, a maker of asbestos-containing gaskets and packing. The Appellate Court held for the first time that expert testimony was not required to assess the amount of dust in the air in order to make a finding that exposures to John Crane asbestos containing products caused mesothelioma. Instead, the plaintiff's' testimony about seeing dust in the air from the use of such products was found to be sufficient.

The Appellate Court also upheld the jury's verdict in finding John Crane 100% responsible for the Plaintiffs' injuries, even though there was evidence of exposure to products manufactured by other companies who were not at trial. Finally, the Appellate Court refused to reduce the judgment, which Defendant John Crane claimed was excessive.
