Rico—DNJ: Rico Claims Over Alleged Concealment of Asbestos Evidence Dismissed

This article describes a case in which Jeffrey Pollock represented Kimberlee Williams in Williams v. BASF Catalysts LLC. The article highlights the federal district court in Newark, New Jersey, dismissing state law Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) claims. The court determined that the plaintiffs, who alleged they lost the opportunity to pursue personal injury claims due to the fraudulent concealment of asbestos evidence, failed to sufficiently claim an "injury to business or property" as required by the statute, noting that personal injuries are not recognized as compensable under RICO.
