Question

A 60-year-old man develops lung cancer, and sues the manufacturer of an asbestos-containing material. The man worked in construction for 45 years, and often used the asbestos-containing material in building projects. He believes that the asbestos-containing material was unreasonably unsafe, because friends of his in the construction trade who used alternative materials did not develop lung cancer. How strong is the negligence case against the product manufacturer

Answer 1

Answer:

Weak because of proximate cause is difficult to prove in absence of other similarly affected individuals

Explanation:

Since in the question it is mentioned that the 60 year old man have a lung cancer so he sues the asbestos manufacturer also he trust that it is unsafe as her friend who use the alternative material has not have a lung cancer so here the case would be weak as of proximate cause as it is difficult for proving it

Therefore the same is to be considered
