Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Judgments
Plaintiff, a former employee, sued for malignancy caused by asbestos exposure; jury verdict for Plaintiff for $17.9 million total. Evidence was insufficient to prove that Defendant companies entered into civil conspiracy to misrepresent or suppress health hazards of asbestos exposure. Thus, court erred in denying motions for judgment n.o.v. (TURNER, specially concurring; COOK, dissenting.)
