Collins v. Koppers, Inc.

LAMAR, Justice,

for the Court:

¶ 1. Shirley Collins filed suit against Koppers, Inc., and several other defendants, alleging that she was injured as a result of environmental contamination by a wood-treatment facility. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss after Collins repeatedly failed to comply with a court order to provide expert opinions that causally linked her injuries to the alleged contamination. The trial court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss and awarded them attorneys’ fees. We find no abuse of discretion and affirm the trial court’s ruling.
