    The amici, however, betray a higher level of friendship to the insurers behind the "Coalition for Litigation Justice" than to the Court or the authoritative medical literature regarding human exposure to asbestos fibers and mesothelioma. Dr. Finkelstein's expertise, his application of reliable methodology and peer-reviewed, published studies, and the general acceptance by the scientific community of the relationship between the inhalation of asbestos fibers and mesothelioma, distinguish the present case from the rejection, based on Daubert, of proffered "every exposure" testimony by a medical toxicologist in Crane Co. v. DeLisle, 206 So.3d 94, 103–106 (Fla. 4th DCA 2016), review granted, Case No. SC16–2182, 2017 WL 3484484 (Fla. July 11, 2017). The trial court did not abuse its discretion in admitting Dr. Finkelstein's testimony and opinions.

    --------Finally, this claim was recently considered—and rejected as meritless—by our sister court in Crane Co. v. DeLisle , 206 So.3d 94 (Fla. 4th DCA 2016) :[The plaintiff] also argues that this court lacks the authority to apply Daubert , as incorporated through section 90.702, Florida Statutes... because it is a legislative change to the evidence code that has not yet been approved by the Florida Supreme Court.
