Alternative Approaches To Valuing The Health Impacts Of Accidents: Liability Law And Prospective Evaluations, W. Kip Viscusi Oct 1983

Alternative Approaches To Valuing The Health Impacts Of Accidents: Liability Law And Prospective Evaluations, W. Kip Viscusi

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

The task of valuing accidental injuries and deaths is intrinsically difficult for two reasons. First, unlike standard consumer commodities, individual health is not traded explicitly on the market. It may be traded implicitly as with wage premiums for risky jobs, but these implicit prices must be estimated statistically. The second problem is that the value one places on any economic commodity depends on the welfare one can derive from it. Since adverse health effects influence the welfare one can obtain from any given level of income, the value of one's health status depends on the context in which such values …

Employee Selection Base On Susceptibility To Occupational Illness, Mark A. Rothstein May 1983

Employee Selection Base On Susceptibility To Occupational Illness, Mark A. Rothstein

Michigan Law Review

This Article attempts to compile the latest information available concerning this difficult problem. Part I reviews the scientific literature, explaining the biological basis of increased risk of occupational disease. Part II explores the efforts of various employers to incorporate this research into their personnel practices. Part III surveys the legal response to these practices. Employees may challenge medical screening on a variety of theories, most of which were not designed to deal with the problem of susceptibility to occupational disease. Not surprisingly, none of the approaches offers an entirely satisfactory response to the problem. This Article offers no clear answers. …


The Canadian Patient's Book Of Rights: A Consumer's Guide To Canadian Health Law, A. Bissett-Johnson Apr 1983

The Canadian Patient's Book Of Rights: A Consumer's Guide To Canadian Health Law, A. Bissett-Johnson

Dalhousie Law Journal

Well qualified lawyers rarely take time to communicate important, often vital, information to the general public about matters of law which affect their lives and their health. This attractive handbook is a welcome exception to that rule. One of Canada's best known and most experienced lawyers in the medicolegal field, Lorne Rozovsky, has written a "consumer's guide" of some 140 pages on the subject of medical and hospital patient's rights under the laws. The area of law covered is what the author calls "health law," one of the most exciting and fastest growing of legal specialization fields in both Canada …

Mobile Homes?--Public And Private Controls, Robert L. Schwartz Jan 1983

Mobile Homes?--Public And Private Controls, Robert L. Schwartz

Faculty Scholarship

The mobile home of today is a far different creature than that from which it was bred. Changes in size, appearance, safety, convenience, and desirability as a place to live have caused the modem mobile home to bear little resemblance to its ancestors. Functioning as a permanently emplaced dwelling, the mobile home has come to be recognized as undeserving of the label "mobile." Other than by place of manufacture, mobile homes have become increasingly indistinguishable from conventional single family dwellings, raising the question of whether mobile homes can reasonably be restricted from areas reserved for single family dwellings. Land controls, …

Potentially Hazardous Merchandise: Domestic And International Mechanisms For Consumer Protection, Eric Shuman Jan 1983

Potentially Hazardous Merchandise: Domestic And International Mechanisms For Consumer Protection, Eric Shuman

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Health disorders engendered by hazardous, exported foods, pesticides, drugs, and other products recently have attracted worldwide attention. The exportation of products which have been banned or highly restricted in their country of origin or which become hazardous in the environment of the importing nation is a popular issue for opponents of a perceived monolithic transnational industrial complex, as well as for critics of certain United States corporations. A more widely shared opinion is that the United States has a moral obligation to limit foreseeable harm from the export of potentially hazardous merchandise or at least to supply product hazard information. …


The Iceperson Cometh: Cryonics, Law And Medicine, George P. Smith Ii Jan 1983

The Iceperson Cometh: Cryonics, Law And Medicine, George P. Smith Ii

Scholarly Articles

The "New Biology" has already made profound impact on the law. Cryonics and genetic engineering represent technological triumphs. The natural, organic process of dying is being replaced by a humanly engineered technological process for living. The dying phase of lite is prolonged until biological knowledge is available to reverse the dying phase and restore the living phase. Both cryonics and genetic engineering in their attempts to replace the organic process with the technological process disturb the delicate balance of the triad of lite which each individual experiences-faith, health, and justice. Since law is a basic tool to achieve justice among …

Manifestation: The Least Defensible Insurance Coverage Theory For Asbestos-Related Disease Suits, Pamela J. Layton Jan 1983

Manifestation: The Least Defensible Insurance Coverage Theory For Asbestos-Related Disease Suits, Pamela J. Layton

Seattle University Law Review

This Note first explains the nature of asbestos diseases, the standard insurance policy language, and the theories of insurance coverage. It then demonstrates the misapplications of medical evidence and contract interpretation principles in Eagle-Picher Industries Inc. v. Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, and concludes with a discussion of the wider implications of the decision and the better theory suggested by Judge Wald. Because the facts and issues involved in Insurance Company of North America v. Forty-Eight Insulations, Keene Corp. v. Insurance Company of North America, and Eagle-Picher are essentially the same, the conclusions drawn from Eagle-Picher apply equally …
