The Plaintiff's Part of Florida's Super Six

CVN covered explosive trials throughout every corner of Florida in 2015, and our cameras provided the most important moments in cases ranging from medical malpractice to tobacco litigation. As 2016 begins, CVN honors the year's top trials—its Super Six—in the state. While verdicts are important in the Super 6 selection process, legal impact and trial storylines also play a key role in designating the elite trials of the year. In this part, we highlight and present, in no particular order, the three premier plaintiff's verdicts in the pantheon of the year's CVN Florida trials.
