Jacqueline Sue Uhler v. the Graham Group, Inc.

Summary

The court held that Uhler's claim was a toxic tort requiring proof of both general and specific causation. Her safety-data-sheet evidence, temporal connection between exposure and symptoms, and medical opinions did not establish that the dose of chemical fumes reaching her was capable of causing her permanent lung injury. Because she lacked the necessary expert evidence to create a genuine dispute on causation, the court affirmed summary judgment for Graham Group.
