Summary Judgment Granted, Complaint Dismissed on Causation Grounds

Congratulations to our client, Ford Motor Company, and its talented legal team that secured this victory. Nancy Pennie and Patrick Dougherty of Aaronson Rappaport Feinstein & Deutsch, LLP, successfully obtained summary judgment in an asbestos case.  The action was brought against an array of defendants, alleging that their products contained asbestos to which the plaintiff was exposed during the course of his career as a parts driver and automotive mechanic, causing him to develop lung cancer. The court found that the plaintiff failed to establish both general and specific causation, resulting in the dismissal of the complaint in its entirety.
