Beck v. Huber, Hunt & Nichols
Earl Beck died from non-Hodgkins lymphoma and asbestos-related lung disease. Plaintiffs, the heirs of Earl Beck, filed suit against Huber, Hunt & Nichols of California, Inc. (Huber) and 40 other defendants, seeking damages on theories of survival, wrongful death and loss of consortium. They appeal from a judgment entered after the trial court granted Hubers motion for summary judgment. Court reverse, finding the evidence Huber submitted in support of its motion was insufficient to shift the burden to plaintiffs to produce evidence to show the existence of a triable issue of fact.
