Nuclear weapons testing fallout: Proving causation for exposure injury

T. Christoffel and D. Swartzman

American Journal of Public Health, 1986, vol. 76, issue 3, 290-292

Abstract: If the courts are to succeed as a forum for dealing with harm caused by toxic exposures, it will have to be through the development of a respectable body of case law. The decision in Allen v. United States makes an important early contribution to the case-by-case development of such a body of law. Should this indeed signal a trend, Allen's attention to statistical association suggests more sophisticated input from epidemiologists and statisticians than allowed under the all-win or all-lose approaches.
