Court upheld the Mesothelioma Verdict for Alfred D’Ulisse

Mesothelioma Verdict: Court upheld the jury’s “Reckless” finding.

The plaintiffs introduced a multitude of examples putting defendant on notice that persons, such as Alfred D'Ulisse, working with friction products were in harm's way.

Such was the ruling of Judge Robert Sweet in Asbestos Litig - Greff, 986 F. Supp 961 (S.D.NY 1997).

In applying the standard enunciated in Maltese v Westinghouse, supra the Court upheld the jury's recklessness finding, holding that the defendant knew of the dangers of asbestos and did not adequately protect or warn users, thereby acting in a wanton or reckless manner." 986 F. Supp 761, 768.

To the same effect is Hamilton v Garlock 96F. Supp2d 352 (2000).
