Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting that long latency period for asbestosis prohibits precise determinations of how much of the disease was caused by each employer, which favors enforcement of the last employer rule in order to ensure recovery
• explaining an 15 injury manifests itself “when it becomes reasonably capable of medical diagnosis.” (internal 16 citation omitted) (emphasis added)
• adopting the “time of manifestation” approach as the date of injury, noting that an average worker would not consider himself ‘injured’ at the time he ingested asbestos fibers and not every exposed worker develops pulmonary disease
