The Vermont Supreme Court found that circumstantial evidence of benzene exposure allegedly causing cancer was insufficient to allow a jury to determine causation.  The case was co-counseled by Vorys lawyer Joe Lonardo.  The case, Blanchard v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. can be found here.  A more thorough description of the case can be found at the Vorys toxic tort weblog.
