Dougan v. Sikorsky Aircraft Corp.

Summary

The court affirmed summary judgment for the defendants on asbestos-exposed plaintiffs' medical-monitoring claims. Without deciding whether Connecticut recognizes medical monitoring for subclinical injury or exposure without manifested physical harm, the court held that the plaintiffs failed to present sufficient evidence that monitoring was medically necessary for each of them and that early detection would provide a clinical benefit. The court also concluded that generalized expert assertions were insufficient to create a genuine issue of material fact.
