The Tennessee Supreme Court is now considering whether to dismiss a case against an employer brought by its employee’s daughter concerning her alleged secondhand exposure to asbestos.  Plaintiff Amanda Satterfield succumbed to mesothelioma at the age of 25.  It is alleged that she was never exposed to asbestos in a workplace.  Ms. Satterfield’s attorneys argued that her father, who hauled asbestos beginning in 1973, inadvertently brought asbestos fibers that clung to his work clothes into their home.  The case made its way to the Tennessee Supreme Court, which heard oral arguments on January 8, 2008, which is expected to render a decision any day now as to whether to dismiss the case against her father’s employer or allow it to proceed.   We will post an update once the decision is publicly available.
