INTRODUCTION
What follows are listings of various sources of information
that will - it is hoped - benefit attorneys who are becoming
involved in asbestos personal injury litigation. This is by no
means an exhaustive list of the various sources that an attorney
should be familiar with or consult prior to trials.
Of course, one should become intimately familiar with a
Plaintiff's medical record, a Defendant's historical documents,
particular areas of medicine, and particular areas of State-of-the-
Art which pertain to the specific case(s) prior to trial. Other
presentations and outlines provided at this seminar will supplement
the general information provided here.

THE HISTORY OF ASBESTOS LITIGATION
Background
o
o
o
o
o
1927. The term "asbestosis" appears for the first timein a published British medical case report of an asbestostextile worker.
1930's-1940's. Silicosis claims helped influence manystate legislatures to adopt workers compensationregulations allowing scheduled recovery for occupationaldiseases. Some including silicosis and asbestosis.
1933. Johns-Manville settles numerous asbestos factoryemployees' claims allegedly arising from asbestos
exposure in a manufacturing facility. [The plaintiff'sattorney reportedly agrees not to participate bringingabout additional claims.]
1938. The United States Public Health Services publishesPublic Health Bulletin No. 241 (a Surgeon General'sReport). This publication sets forth a MAC (MaximalAllowable Concentration) or TLV (Threshold Limit Value)for asbestos dust of 5,000,000 particles per cubic foot.
1939. The MAC or TLV for asbestos dust of 5,000,000particles per cubic foot as a safe limit is republishedin Public Health Bulletin No. 241.
19431952 The research facilities at Saranac

o 1952. The United States Government adopts by regulation
the asbestos dust TLV of 5 million particles per cubicfoot. States begin adopting the same TLV.
o 1955. Dr. Gerrit W. H. Schepers, Director of the SaranacLaboratories publishes the Kaylo Study. The publishedstudy points out that not even pre-cancerous changescould be postulated in the cells of the animals utilizedin the study.
o i960. The United States Government, recommends theasbestos dust TLV of 5 million particles per cubic footfor work practices associated with shipbuilding and shiprepair. Various states continue to adopt the TLV.
o 1961. Gladys Faci.ane sues numerous cigarette andasbestos manufacturers for her insulator husband's death.
o 1964 through 1966. Studies conducted in part by Dr.Irving J. Selikoff are published. Certain of these
studies were undertaken "to determine" if insulators wereat an increased risk for asbestosis and allied diseases.
o December 1966. Claude Tomplait. an insulator files alawsuit seeking damages for asbestosis from 11 asbestosproducts manufacturers in the Eastern District of Texas.
o 1969. Prior to the Tomplait trial several defendantswere dismissed for various causes and five defendantsreached a compromise that denied liability. The trialconcluded on May 19, 1969 in a verdict for the remainingdefendant.
o Clarence Borel, an insulator, filed a lawsuit in Federal

contracted mesothelioma. All defendants except Johns-Manville either settled or were dismissed. Karjala's$200,000 verdict against Johns-Manville was affirmed onappeal. Karnala v.J-M. 523 F.2d 155 (1975).
o 1972. Pittsburgh Corning closed and dismantled its plantlocated in Tyler, Texas. Pittsburgh coming's actionsfollowed investigations by government occupational andhealth officials. The plant was originally erected byUnarco when it closed its Patterson, New Jersey plant in1954. The Patterson plant is the subject of certain
Selikoff studies.
1972. Pursuant to OSHA, federal regulations were adoptedrequiring a cautionary statement on containers ofasbestos-containing materials that exceed the TS»V whenmanipulated. OSHA continues to adopt ACGIH TLV As.
O 1974. Yandle V. PPG. 65 F.R.D. 566 (E.D. Tex. 1974). Aplaintiff's attorney having been retained by seven oreight prospective plaintiffs who had been employed at thePittsburgh Corning/Unarco plant in Tyler, Texas, filed aclass action in the Federal Court in Tyler on behalf ofapproximately 570 plant employees. The court deniedclass action status. Settlement was reportedly reachedin the amount of $20 million to be paid by the variousdefendants including the plaintiff's union and the UnitedStates Government.
o 1974. A Pittsburgh Plaintiff's attorney filed lawsuits
on behalf of Carollo and DeRocco, two pipecoverers at theWheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corporation plant. During thecourse of discovery in these cases, testimony of formerJ-M medical director, Dr. Kenneth Smith, was developedwherein Dr Smith testified that in the 1950's he had

The cases reportedly settled for $15.1 million in 1981.
The plaintiff's take home award which was allotted among683 plaintiffs in payments that are said to have rangedbetween $1,250 to more than $200,000.
o 1975. A plaintiff's attorney in Knoxville, TN, isretained by an asbestos insulator. He calls Borel'sattorney's partner to investigate potential defendantsand strategy. The defendants who pursued the case totrial prevailed in November of 1977.
o 1975 through 1977. A California Plaintiff's attorney isretained by approximately 30 workers from .a J-MPittsburgh (California) plant and filed claims againstthe J-M plant physician and others. Discovery revealedmore potentially damning documents and informationreflecting upon J-M's knowledge of the potential adversehealth effects of exposure to asbestos. Among these weretwo settled third-party lawsuits for negligence andbreach of warranty filed against J-M by insulators in1957 and 1961.
Apparently, in part as a result of the testimony of aformer J-M employee reportedly to the effect that J-M hada policy of not revealing adverse health conditions toits employees, 80 former J-M employees of the Pittsburghplant filed a $10 million punitive damage claim againstJ-M.
o 1977. The minutes of the Asbestos Textile Institute
(ATI) are discovered. These purport to show earlyknowledge by the members of asbestos disease occurring inthose exposed to their products.
o 1978. A meeting is held in Atlanta which begins the
8/9/2019 Crosby 1990 DRI Outline on What Asebstos Lawyers Need to Know

Secretary of HEW, Joseph A. Californo, Jr., issued a
statement concerning the biological effects of asbestosand ordered the Surgeon General of the U.S. to send anadvisory letter to all 400,000 physicians in the nationdescribing the claimed health risk posed by asbestos.
Congresswoman Millicent Fenwick of New Jersey introducedthe bill known as the Asbestos Health HazardsCompensation Act. The bill was not passed.
The text of the report of an industrial hygienist, W.C.L.Hemeon for the ATI was discovered. It is contended thatthis report demonstrated that the members of the 7vTI wereaware that the asbestos TLV was excessive. This report,containing no citations, was prepared in 1947. 1x̂ 1955in a published text, Hemeon cited the asbestos TLV v as 5million particles per cubic foot.
Dr. Gerrit W. H. Schepers revealed to Plaintiffs 7
attorneys his relationship with Saranac, J-M, and Owens-Illinois.
Keene (approximately 500 cases pending) filed suit fordeclaratory judgment against INA and other insurancecompanies. The Court of Appeals for the District ofColumbia adopted the "triple trigger" (a modified versionof the "exposure theory") ruling that insurance coveragecould be "triggered" by: (1) the initial inhalation ofasbestos fibers, (2) by exposure-in-residence to thefibers, and (3) by the manifestation of asbestos disease.
As of the fourth quarter of 1981, approximately 20declaratory judgment actions relating to insurancecoverage matters were pending nationwide, neverthelessthe U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal of

o 1980. The widow of an insulator who died ofmesothelioma, received a $3 million compensatory damage
award from a jury in Beaumont, Texas. The award wasreduced by Judge Robert Parker to $1.5 million. JudgeParker had refused to allow the jury to consider punitivedamages in this trial against Nicolet Industries. Migues
v. Fibreboard Corp.. 662 F.2d 1182 (5th Cir. (1981).
o 1981. Vandiver Brown, a former attorney with J-M, whohad been thought dead, is found alive and apparentlymentally incompetent in Edinburgh, Scotland. Brown ^actually died on September 2, 1983, at the age of 82. f
November 1981. Speake v. j-M f California (plant worker cases) begins trial. At the conclusion of the trial which included the testimony of Dr. Paul Kotin and J-M ICEO John McKinney, the jury returned a verdict for Mr. ISpeake and against J-M in the amount of $150,000 in fcompensatory damages. No punitive damages were awarded. I
Commercial Union calls for federal legislation in its Jposition paper "Asbestos: A social problem." j
' •
o 1981 through 1982. J-M goes to trial approximately 65 r (times losing punitive damages a total of 10 times in a '.total amount reportedly of $6 million.
Migues is retried before Judge Parker with four othercases before five separate juries simultaneously. Of thefive verdicts returned, some were for the plaintiff while
others were for the defendant, hence, collateral estoppelcould not be applied against the defendants.
Increasing compensatory damage awards and an increasingnumber of punitive damages awards are apparently utilized

1985. The Asbestos Claims Facility is established,thereby averting numerous declaratory judgment actions
relating to insurance coverage issues and potentiallyreducing defendants' litigation costs.
1985 through 1987. Plaintiffs' attorneys screeningprocedures are in place or expanded for reviewingnumerous present and previous workers engaged in theconstruction trades and trades allied to the constructionand shipbuilding trades. New filings in 1985 areapproximately 10,000, in 1986 approximately 17,000 and in1987 approximately 22,000 cases.
The "case mix" has shifted dramatically frompredominately insulator/shipyard workers to predominatelynon-insulator cases and individuals with more peripheralexposure. J*
April - May 1986. Judge Parker presides over a classaction trial of approximately 750 plaintiffs allegingexposure to asbestos from a variety of occupations and
circumstances. The cases are compromised, the terms ofwhich provide for Alternative Dispute Resolution and awaiver by plaintiffs of any entitlement to punitivedamages.
May 1987 through July, 1987. Ninety-two (92) cases areconsolidated for trial on the issue of liability andpunitive damages in the Federal District Court inGalveston, Texas. The jury determines that theplaintiffs are not entitled to any punitive damages.
October 1988. Asbestos Claims Facility dissolves.

A. GENERA L INFORMATION TEXTS
What follows is a listing of various publications that have
appeared through the last several years dealing with asbestos and
health. It is felt that if one has familiarity with these texts
one will be generally familiar with asbestos medicine. Not all of
these publications are recognized as accepted medical and
scientific treatises. In fact, at least two of the publications
cited are included simply because they portray what plaintiffs
generally contend in court.

C. SUGGESTED JOURNALS FOR FREQUENT REVIEW
There are dozens of medical and scientific journals that
should be reviewed periodically. This is most easily done by
reviewing MED-LINE and other computer data base services provided
by the National Library of Medicine, 8600 Rockville Pike, Building
38, Bethesda, Maryland 20814 and others to anyone who wishes to
subscribe. Subscriptions are usually reasonable. In addition to
MED-LINE one should stay in contact with their various consultants
to determine what text and publications have appeared that are of
note in the profession.
The following journals and/or articles are recommended for
regular review:
1. American Journal of Industrial Medicine (Irving J. Selikoff,Editor in Chief), Wiley-Liss, Inc., Publisher, 41 E. llthStreet, New York, New York, 10003
2. Chest (official publication of the American College of ChestPhysicians), 911 Busse Highway, Park Ridge, Illinois,

THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUES
While some jurisdictions may require copies of original
documentation relating to the Threshold Limit Vales the Annals of
the American Conference of Industrial Hygienists, Volume 9 (1984)
"...gathers into one volume the first 35 yearsof recommended threshold limit values adoptedby and for the American Conference ofGovernmental Industrial Hygienists. Thisvolume also contains the values used by the « * .various states at the time when the first *threshold limit values (TLV) committee wasdeveloping its initial list; the list used bythe Defendant Department during World War II;the first major comparison of values developed
by a number of states within the U. S. Publichealth Service Values and the AmericanStandards Association Z-37 Committeerecommendations; and a group of selectedarticles from the literature."
In years past, the following states, at least, adopted by
statute or regulation or otherwise the threshold limit value of
five million particles per cubic foot (Smppcf):
ConnecticutFlorida
8/9/2019 Crosby 1990 DRI Outline on What Asebstos Lawyers Need to Know
37/226
Copies of these states' regulations are generally available
through the various states' Department of Industrial Relations or
workers compensation.
T he threshold limit value of 5 mppcf was also adopted by the
United States Government, Department of Labor for certain
activities. See: Title 29 - Labor, Part 8 - Safety & Health
Regulations for S hip Repairing, F ederal Register, Volume 25, No. 36
(February 20, 1960). Other adoptions of the threshold limit value
were made under the Walsh Healy Act and the Occupational safety &
Health Act often adopted the then existing threshold limit values
of the ACGIH when OSHA became effective.

1 EPIDEMIOLOGY
An understanding of basic epidemiology and a familiarity with
case law addressing scientific issues will pay dividends for any
attorney. It will play a vital role in fashioning discovery
depositions of plaintiff's experts, evidentiary foundations to
admissibility of all scientific testimony and presentation of the
testimony by the defense expert at trial. Set out below is a basica ,
reading list on epidemiology as well as a list of some of the more
useful written opinions that address scientific issues touching
upon epidemiology/causation issues.
