Asbestos Litigation: The Dust Has Yet To Settle , Jean O'Hare
Asbestos Litigation: The Dust Has Yet To Settle , Jean O'Hare
Fordham Urban Law Journal
Asbestos litigation presents numerous problems as a result of industry inaction and government inattention to the situation. Through statistics, this article addresses two major impediments to asbestos litigation claims: statute of limitations and multiple defendants. Understanding that those affected by asbestos may not know for many years and that more than one company could be responsible is vital to finding equitable solution to the problems.

Tort Claims Against The State: Comparative And Categorical Analyses Of The Ohio Court Of Claims Act And Interpretations Of The Act In Tort Litigation Against The State, Lawrence P. Wilkins
Cleveland State Law Review
Upon passage of the Ohio Court of Claims Act of 1975, the State of Ohio waived its sovereign immunity and consented to be sued in a court established solely for that purpose. Within a relatively short period of time, the Ohio Court of Claims has made a significant imprint on the development of tort law in Ohio, distinguishing itself in its efforts to provide an effective forum for those injured by the state or one of its instrumentalities while defining the limits beyond which state liability for tortious conduct will not extend. As might be expected of a new court …

Shepard V. Superior Court—Recovery For Mental Distress In A Products Liability Action, G. Scott Greenburg
Shepard V. Superior Court—Recovery For Mental Distress In A Products Liability Action, G. Scott Greenburg
Seattle University Law Review
In Shepard v. Superior Court, the California Court of Appeals held that a party directly witnessing injury to a close relative could recover damages for resulting mental distress in a strict products liability action. By recognizing a duty to avoid infliction of emotional distress in a products liability case, Shepard elevated a manufacturer's duty in strict liability to the level recently recognized in a negligence action. The court correctly reasoned that a cause of action for mental distress in products liability was consistent with economic realities of modern society and the purposes behind products liability.
Mobil Oil Corp. V. Higginbotham—Confusion Returns To Maritime Wrongful Death Actions, Howard Hall
Mobil Oil Corp. V. Higginbotham—Confusion Returns To Maritime Wrongful Death Actions, Howard Hall
Seattle University Law Review
In 1967, a helicopter carrying three passengers and a pilot returning from an offshore drilling platform crashed into the Gulf of Mexico beyond Louisiana's territorial waters, killing all aboard. The families of the decedents instituted a wrongful death suit in admiralty, seeking recovery under general maritime law, the Death on the High Seas Act (DOHSA), and the Jones Act. The federal district court found Mobil Oil Corporation, the owner and operator of the helicopter, negligent. In awarding damages the district court limited recovery to pecuniary losses, holding that a pecuniary loss limitation applied regardless of the theory of recovery. Specifically, …

Roberts V. Johnson—A Welcome Change Tainted By An Outmoded Approach To Statutory Interpretation, Mark F. Miller
Seattle University Law Review
In 1974, the Washington State Legislature repealed its automobile guest statute, intending to establish ordinary negligence as the proper standard of liability in host-guest automobile tort actions. Nevertheless, in March 1978, in Lau v. Nelson, the Washington Supreme Court, ignoring clear indicia of legislative intent, held that the repeal of the guest statute revived the common law of this state, which, like the guest statute, predicated a guest's recovery on proving the host grossly negligent. Having effectively reinstated the very law the legislature repealed, the Lau court declined to decide whether the majority rule of ordinary negligence should replace …
