Asbestos Cases A–Z: Y

8 decisions whose name begins with Y.

• Yale University v. Cigna Ins. Co. (U.S. District Court, District of Connecticut, 2002). The court granted the insurers' summary judgment on the third-party liability and specified peril policies and on asbestos contamination under the all risk policies, and denied it in part on lead contamination claims under the all risk policies, so Yale mostly lost.
• Yankee v. APV North America, Inc. (Washington Court of Appeals, 1st Division, 2011). The Court of Appeals affirmed summary judgment for APV dismissing Siemieniec's claims and reversed the denial of summary judgment on Yankee's failure-to-warn claim, so APV won in both cases.
• Yaw v. Air & Liquid Systems Corporation (U.S. District Court, Western District of Washington, 2019). The court granted Mrs. Yaw's unopposed motion to amend her complaint to add a wrongful death claim, and reserved ruling on GE, Westinghouse (CBS) and Foster Wheeler's summary judgment motion pending supplemental briefing on the Supreme Court's DeVries decision.
• Young v. 3M Company (U.S. District Court, Middle District of North Carolina, 2016). The magistrate judge granted Plaintiffs' motion for limited jurisdictional discovery on specific personal jurisdiction over Master Industries, Inc. and Master Industries Worldwide, LLC, over their objections.
• Young v. Agco Corporation (U.S. District Court, Western District of North Carolina, 2014). The district court overruled Higbee's objections, accepted the Magistrate Judge's recommendation, and denied Higbee Inc.'s motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction, so the plaintiffs' claims against Higbee continue.
• Young v. American Talc Company (U.S. District Court, Middle District of North Carolina, 2017). The court granted the motions of Master Industries, Inc. and Master Industries Worldwide, LLC to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction and dismissed them without prejudice; the plaintiff lost as to those two defendants.
• Young v. Wcab (zinc Corp. OF America) (Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court, 2006). The Commonwealth Court reversed the Workers' Compensation Appeal Board's affirmance of the denial of benefits, held Zinc Corporation of America liable to Mrs. Young as the last employer, and remanded for calculation and award of benefits.
• Youse & Youse v. Johnson & Johnson (U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania, 2019). The court denied plaintiffs' motion to remand to state court, finding complete diversity because Walmart was not a Pennsylvania citizen, and denied Imerys's motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction, so the case against Johnson & Johnson, Imerys and Walmart stayed in federal court.
