00:04
so i’ve handled
00:06
many cancer cases over the years that is
00:09
does a certain drug that’s associated
00:12
with cancer
00:13
did it actually cause the cancer in
00:15
every cancer case that i’ve ever worked
00:17
on
00:19
the question of specific causation is
00:21
always the biggest
00:22
and toughest hurdle in a case we all
00:25
know that
00:26
that cancers are multi-factorial
00:29
and can we determine a specific
00:32
use over a specific period of time
00:35
contributed to and caused a cancer
00:38
that is the biggest hurdle in a cancer
00:41
case and i don’t care if that’s actos
00:43
and bladder cancer mesothelioma
00:47
and talc we know that
00:50
certain substances are carcinogenic
00:54
but then again was that the cause
00:57
or were there other causes and i think
00:59
that you know clients
01:01
need to know that it doesn’t have to be
01:03
the sole cause of the cancer
01:05
it has to be a substantial contributing
01:07
factor to
01:08
the cause of cancer so that’s a very
01:12
important distinction and yet the
01:15
biggest hurdle that we face in this litigation
