CVN's Engle Defense Attorney of 2019 Notched a Pair of Key Wins

Posted by Arlin Crisco on Dec 20, 2019 12:58:17 PM

For more than a decade, Florida’s Engle progeny tobacco litigation has featured some of the top lawyers in the country. 

The cases are among thousands that stem from a Florida class action suit that the state’s supreme court ultimately decertified, allowing individual plaintiffs to recover against the nation's tobacco companies if they can prove the smokers in their cases suffered from nicotine addiction that caused a smoking-related disease.
