Opinion

SEPULVEDA, J.

This is an appeal from a judgment for plaintiffs Lois and Daniel Wilson, Sr. 1 following a jury trial on their claims for personal injuries and loss of consortium arising from the latter’s exposure to asbestos. Defendant John Crane, Inc., raises numerous challenges to the judgment. Plaintiffs have cross-appealed from the judgment insofar as it limits their recovery of noneconomic damages to that proportion of such damages as the jury found attributable to defendant. We find no merit in either side’s arguments and affirm the judgment in its entirety.
