Dougan v. Sikorsky Aircraft Corp.

Summary

The court affirmed summary judgment for the defendants on the plaintiffs’ asbestos-related medical-monitoring claims. Assuming without deciding that Connecticut law might recognize medical monitoring for subclinical injury without present physical symptoms, the court held that the plaintiffs lacked evidence showing that monitoring was reasonably necessary for each of them and that early detection would provide a significant medical benefit. The court therefore did not decide whether Connecticut recognizes the asserted cause of action or remedy.
