Tobacco Litigation Attorneys

In a recent court decision, the Florida Supreme Court tossed out a $145 billon class action award against tobacco companies from a jury decision of 2000. Although the Supreme Court's action appears to favor the tobacco companies, it means that individuals will now be able to proceed with their own suits. From this decision, it has been established a matter of law that:

- There are negative health effects from smoking

- The fact that the tobacco companies deceptively failed to warn smokers to the dangers of using their products

Individuals can now bring their own suits and do not have to re-litigate these matters. The Supreme Court also reinstated the jury's finding that the tobacco companies committed fraud, was negligent, and concealed the addictive nature of smoking from consumers in order to sell more cigarettes. Individual suits will now focus on the victims smoking history, the causal connection to their injuries, and damages.
