Marks O’Neill’s Westchester County Office Obtain Summary Judgment on Behalf of Client

Marks O’Neill’s Westchester County office was successful in obtaining Summary Judgment in a NYCAL asbestos matter on behalf of our client, a boiler manufacturer.  This matter involved a living lung cancer claimant who claimed to have worked on our client’s boilers during the time he worked as an oil service man.  We moved for Summary Judgment, arguing that the testimony against the client amounted to inadmissible hearsay which could not be relied upon under any exception to the hearsay rule.  Judge Manuel Mendez granted the motion, dismissing plaintiff’s claims and any/all cross-claims against our client.
