The Senate approved a $500 per hour cap on fees for lawyers who win tobacco damage suits by a 49 to 48 vote. Critics warned the limit could deter capable lawyers, while backers said other provisions would ease plaintiff success and shift the burden of proof to the industry. Senator Slade Gorton authored the amendment amid broader tobacco litigation changes.
