NERA Senior Vice President Dr. Faten Sabry moderated a CLE webcast discussion on the latest developments and economic issues related to silica litigation. Dr. Sabry also presented as part of the panel of experts, which included former U.S. Silica President John Ulizio and Greenberg Traurig Co-Chair of Products Liability & Mass Torts Litigation Frank Citera.

Specifically, the panel discussed:

• A rule proposed by OSHA that would significantly reduce the exposure limits for silica and raise questions about the impact on potential silica exposure in the construction, mining, and oil and gas industries
• A prospective on silica-related litigation and recent silica decisions and defense theories
• An economic analysis of silica liabilities and analytical approaches to model the propensity to sue and account for changes in the legal and regulatory environments
