In a ruling that changes the precedent for asbestos lawsuits in Pennsylvania, the state’s Supreme Court ruled that the “any dose” argument by scientists is no long admissible. Justice Thomas G. Saylor said that prosecution cannot argue that limited asbestos exposure can cause diseases like mesothelioma while simultaneously arguing that the disease worsens depending on the length of exposure. Business groups supported the decision, while asbestos plaintiffs are now under a greater burden of proof during asbestos litigation. This should not be a problem for most plaintiffs as they can readily document that lengthy employment in an asbestos-laden workplace contributed to their medical ailments.
