Eagle-Picher Industries, Inc. v. Cox

How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that, because damages for enhanced cancer risk were not part of plaintiff's first award, a subsequent cause of action for damages due to cancer caused by asbestos was not barred
• explaining that an impact allows recovery for emotional distress “stemming from the incident during which the impact occurred, and not merely the impact itself”
• declining to recognize claim for unquantified enhanced risk of cancer brought by plaintiff with asbestosis
• noting that “rather slight” impact is sufficient
• cited with approval in Willis v. Gami Golden Glades, LLC, 967 So.2d 846, 850 (Fla.2007)
• damages not recoverable for future risk of cancer due to exposure to asbestos
