Ex-Smoker Wins Against Philip Morris USA
"The sister of former Fort Lauderdale Mayor Jim Naugle on Thursday won a $300 million jury verdict, the largest individual win in the Big Tobacco lawsuits in Florida," the Sun Sentinel writes. "Cindy Naugle, an office manager and bookkeeper at Layton's Garage in Fort Lauderdale, sued Philip Morris, owner of her cigarette brand of choice, Benson & Hedges."
The newspaper adds that Naugle was "found only 10% at fault for taking up smoking cigarettes when she was 20-years-old." The Sun-Sentinel says she is now 60 and "has emphysema and labors to do the simplest tasks."
Bloomberg News breaks down the judgement: "$56.6 million in compensatory damages and $244 million in punitive damages." It adds that Naugle's lawyer, Robert Kelley, says Philip Morris is responsible for all the punitive damages and 90% of the compensatory damages (because she was found 10% responsible).
Philip Morris' parent, Altria Group, called the judgment "fundamentally unfair" and said it will seek a court review.
A key issue in the case was Naugle's contention that Philip Morris concealed the fact that smoking cigarettes is addictive and harmful.
