Emigh v. Consolidated Rail Corp.

How courts have described this case

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

• Since doctors who testified that plaintiff died of asbestosis had not interviewed or examined plaintiff and since it was not clear from record whether they knew of or considered the effect of plaintiff’s smoking, their opinions were unreliable and inadmissible.
• “[W]hen the underlying source is so unreliable as to render it more prejudicial than probative, . . . Rule 703 cannot be used as a backdoor to get the evidence before the jury.”
