11th Circuit affirms tossing of expert reports in toxic waste suits against Lockheed Martin
The 11th Circuit upheld a lower court's dismissal of expert reports in two lawsuits against Lockheed Martin, finding that two expert witnesses failed to reliably apply their methodologies to link carcinogenic chemicals from a Florida weapons facility to plaintiffs' health issues. Plaintiffs, who allege cancer and other diseases from chemical exposure, now lack expert reports to support their claims, and their legal representatives expressed disappointment.
