LAGUEUX v. UNION CARBIDE CORP.

No. 4D03-383.

861 So.2d 87 (2003)

Yves J. LAGUEUX, Appellant, v. UNION CARBIDE CORPORATION, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

Rehearing Denied January 12, 2004.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Joel S. Perwin of Podhurst, Orseck, P.A., Miami, David A. Jagolinzer and James L. Ferraro of Ferraro & Associates, P.A., Miami, and John A. Sivinski of Kelley & Ferraro, LLP, Cleveland, Ohio, for appellant.

David R. Venderbush of Alston & Bird LLP, New York, NY, Michelle Jerusalem Cole, Charlotte, NC, and John Pelzer of Ruden, McClosky, Smith, Schuster & Russell, Fort Lauderdale, for appellee.

GROSS, J.

This was a negligence and strict liability asbestos case. After a jury trial, appellant, Yves Lagueux, prevailed against defendant/appellee Union Carbide Corporation. However, the jury allocated 70% of the fault in the case between non-parties Johns-Manville, Inc., Phillip Carey, Inc., and Georgia-Pacific.

We hold that Union Carbide did not produce specific evidence sufficient under Fabre v. Marin, 623 So.2d 1182
