New York Court of Appeals
Eric Parker, Appellant v. Mobil Oil Corporation, Respondents. (And Third-Party Actions.)
October 17, 20067 N.Y.3d 434
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division’s order dismissing Parker’s claim and excluding his expert testimony. The Court held that the experts failed to establish a reliable causal link between benzene exposure and AML and that precise quantification of exposure, while not always required, was insufficiently demonstrated. Accordingly, summary judgment was proper.
