More on how this was screened

Nielsen v. American Honda Motor Co., Inc. chose a different standard for a question of Hawaiʻi procedure, as listed below. Doe 93 v. Secretary of Health & Human Services held that expert-evidence decisions outside the Vaccine Act, including Joiner, do not govern that Act's separate causation inquiry.

Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

4,485 later cases cite General Electric Co. v. Joiner; 185 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.
