Gordon Smith addresses the jury in Dade County Circuit Court Miami over a $14.4 million damage claim filed by three sick smokers against the tobacco industry.
North Carolina quickly passed a law to cap punitive damages at 25 million in tobacco cases amid a Florida class action. Gov. Hunt signed the bill after a four hour session, with R J Reynolds Tobacco and Liggett Group among NC defendants. The law aims to shield tobacco firms from potentially huge bonding obligations on appeals.
A Miami jury awarded two smokers 6.9 million in compensatory damages in a landmark Florida tobacco case, with one claimant receiving 5.8 million but blocked from collecting due to a four year statute. A third plaintiff faced a delayed decision on her 2.85 million award.
