Jason Booth and Associate Dan Cho of the Firm successfully defended an asbestos-based suit brought by the family of a factory worker who had died of allegedly asbestos-related lung cancer. The Firm represented the supplier of insulation products, who had been accused of contributing to the decedent's illness. 

However, the Firm brought a summary judgment motion challenging the Plaintiffs' ability to prove causation.  The motion appeared likely to succeed because we were able to demonstrate, as a matter of law, that the client's products did not contribute, and could not have contributed, to the decedent's asbestos-related illness.

The Plaintiffs were concerned about the likely success of the Firm's motion, and their potential liability for attorney fees and costs, and therefore agreed to dismiss their claims with prejudice prior to the hearing, in exchange for a waiver of costs.
