1 Q Okay. Let me give you the next
Page 3153
2 hypothetical, and I will try not to mess up the
3 reading of that one this time.
4 First assume that a different individual
5 worked in a garage between the years of 1948 and
6 1952 .
7 Further assume that this individual did no
8 work on brake and clutches, but that such work was
9 going on in the garage while he was working.
10 Finally assume that some of the friction
11 products used at the garage contained chrysotile
12 asbestos.
13 Assuming that these facts are true and that
14 this individual contracted mesothelioma, do you have
15 an opinion to a reasonable degree of scientific
16 certainty as to whether this individual1s exposure to
17 asbestos-containing friction products, if any, were a
18 substantial contributing factor to the development of
19 his mesothelioma?
20 A Yes, I have an opinion.
21 Q What is your opinion?
