Kelemen v. Crane
After David Kelemen, a former Navy machinist mate, developed mesothelioma, an asbestos-related cancer, he and his wife, Paula Kelemen, filed suit against numerous manufacturers of asbestos-containing products, alleging negligence and strict liability. Defendant John Crane, Inc. (JCI) was the only remaining defendant at trial.
After a three-day trial, the jury found JCI liable for negligence and strict liability. Ultimately, judgment was entered in favor of plaintiffs for compensatory and punitive damages.
