Khosravan v. Exxon Mobil Corp. CA2/7
Malekeh Khosravan appeals from a judgment entered after the trial court granted the motions for summary judgment filed by defendants Chevron Corporation, Chevron U.S.A. Inc., and Texaco, Inc. (Chevron defendants), and Exxon Mobil Corporation and ExxonMobil Oil Corporation (Exxon defendants). Malekeh and her husband Gholam Khosravan brought claims for negligence, premises liability, and loss of consortium, alleging Khosravan contracted mesothelioma caused by exposure to asbestos while he was an Iranian citizen working for the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) from the late 1950s to 1980 in facilities controlled by defendants. The trial court concluded the Chevron and Exxon defendants did not owe a duty of care to Khosravan.
