Representative Matters

After a multi-day Frye-Reed evidentiary hearing, successfully achieved the exclusion of the plaintiffs' experts in two similarly situated cases in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City. The exclusion of the experts resulted in summary judgment. The plaintiffs in the two cases alleged they developed MDS (and for one, AML) from their purported exposures to diesel exhaust that contained benzene while employed by the defendant. Plaintiffs offered a hemotologist and medical oncologist as a causation expert and an industrial hygienist expert. The Court excluded both experts, finding that in the former, the expert's testimony failed to meet the requirements of the Frye-Reed test and Rule 5-702, and that, in the latter, the expert's testimony failed to comply with the requirements of Rule 5-702. Because the experts' testimony was excluded, plaintiffs could not prove the defendant was negligent, and summary judgment was granted.
