Abstract

The Superior Court of Pennsylvania held that a physician's tentative diagnosis of the suspected contraction of asbestosis by a worker was not sufficient to commence the running of the applicable statute of limitations, but that it activated a duty in the worker to determine with due diligence whether he had contracted asbestosis.
