Medical Monitoring Suitable For Class Action Treatment
Lockheed Martin Corp., et al. v. The Superior Court of San Bernardino County [Roslyn Carrillo]
Mealey Publications -- SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- March 4, 2003
In a ruling of first impression, the California Supreme Court said that medical monitoring is suitable for class action treatment. “[N]o per se or categorical bar exists to a court’s finding medical monitoring claims appropriate for class treatment, so long as any individual issues the claims present are manageable,” the court said.

Note: Mealey's Emerging Toxic Torts focuses on chemical sensitivity, indoor air quality, groundwater, soil and air contamination, radiation, workplace exposure, pesticide, solvent, PCBs, gloves, EMF, endocrine disruptors, and other emerging toxic tort litigation.
