   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-3386
                          and No:  04-3855
   District of Minnesota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Riley and Heaney, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - torts. Jury verdict finding Union Carbide's warnings on 
   its asbestos products were reasonably adequate in trial concerned with
   question of whether the asbestos caused the victims' mesothelioma did
   not collaterally estop plaintiff from contesting whether the warnings were
   adequate in a second trial concerned with the question of whether the
   asbestos caused a different set of victims' asbestosis; district court
   correctly determined that the jury's allocation of fault between the
   employer and Union Carbide should apply to the lesser of the benefits
   paid or the jury verdict; district court did not err in finding employer 
   is not precluded from recovering permanent disability benefits in its
   subrogation action; evidence was sufficient to support award for loss of
   future earnings; district court did not err in finding employer could
   recover any benefits it expected to pay in the future based on existing
   conditions, including any benefits payable for existing conditions
   projected to worsen
