Charles Piendle died of lung cancer at age 55, after 30 years of smoking. His widow Margaret will attempt to establish that Charles was addicted to smoking, and his addiction caused his death from lung cancer, and thus she is entitled to recover damages as a class member in the Engle litigation.
Piendle will be represented by Searcy Denney Scarola Barnhart & Shipley.
CVN will webcast Piendle v. RJ Reynolds live.
