The judge overseeing the Texas Multidistrict Asbestos Litigation on Monday ruled to allow the expert testimony of Dr. Ron Gordon in the case of Torres, et al. v. Union Carbide Corp., et al.  By doing so, Judge Mark Davidson denied the defense's motion to strike the testimony in an asbestos case being tried by Williams Kherkher attorneys Troy D. Chandler and Devin McNulty.

Counsel for defending firm Garlock claimed that the testimony of William Kherkher's expert witness had serious flaws.  According to Garlock’s lawyers, Dr. Gordon's testing of both lung and pleural tissue for the presence of asbestos was not an accepted technique.  However, Judge Davidson ruled that the testimony was admissible in court. The positive ruling seems to confirm that the Williams Kherkher attorneys are correct in their assertion that the defendant's product "contained 85 percent crocidolite asbestos fiber, was accompanied by no warnings, released respirable asbestos fibers, and will be a proximate cause in the death of Oscar Torres."

Furthermore, the attorneys assert that Garlock's questioning of the testimony is tantamount to questioning the very basis of mesothelioma testing, a method widely accepted within the medical community.
