Widow wins $23.6 Billion Lawsuit vs. R.J. Reynolds :florida: :dead:

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Lol no one is getting 26 billion... I can guarantee that. This payout if it happens will be drastically reduced. The end of the article suggests the fight ain't over yet...

You don't know how these things work do you?

It will be in appeal for years, a settlement will happen and the lawyers will take most of the money.

Is that why people sue for a fukkton

 

[blackzeus]

They will put a hit out on her before they pay that brehs. So we can smoke and sue now? Like her husband didn't know about the dangers of smoking?

[superunknown23]

[the cac mamba]

stupidest fukkin thing ive read in a while

23 billion why not go for a reasonable sum that you would actually get. and besides, no one deserves any money from tobacco companies in 2014 when did they start telling us that shyt was bad, the 60s?

 

[LordTaskForce]

WOW

typical fees are usually 1/3 at minimum

 

[L&HH]

3-12 million?

her husband died BEFORE the tobacco companies were educating people on how they were killing them. I'm willing to bet the court docs were a lot of "they knew they were killing people but did nothing" type of docs.

so when exactly would you say that was?

Don't trip, a judge will lower this settlement down to 5 dollars or something.

I aint even mad though, i'm sure they can afford it. This is what happens when you let a jury in a civil case. This is also what happens when you have no tort reform in a state, wihch isn't a bad thing.

The biggest trick I've ever seen was how they labeled "tort reform" as a positive thing with nearly the wording.
