McGee v. AC and S, Inc.

James McGee died after being sickened by workplace asbestos exposure, and his widow and children (plaintiffs) sued his former employers and asbestos-product manufacturers (defendants) for wrongful death, seeking several categories of damages including loss of enjoyment of life. The defendants moved in limine to bar treating loss of enjoyment of life as a separately listed element of general damages, and the trial court denied that motion; the court of appeals reversed on a supervisory writ, and the plaintiffs appealed.
