California Court of Appeal

In a suit brought by an employee who developed lung disease from his work in a food flavoring plant, the trial court's grant of summary judgment to employer-defendant is reversed where the evidence is susceptible to more than one legitimate inference, and that it is a question of fact for the jury to determine whether the facts known to plaintiff before November 2006 were enough to put a reasonable person on inquiry notice that his lung disease was caused by the wrongful act of another.
