July 8, 19608 N.Y.2d 277
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Workmen’s Compensation Board’s award, dismissing the claim that the decedent’s leukemia was caused by benzol exposure at National Cabinet Company because the claimant failed to prove causation and the expert testimony was insufficient; the court also affirmed that the statute of limitations barred claims against earlier employers.
