Jury finds for family of deceased Florida woman in $37.5 million suit against RJ Reynolds.

 

The South Florida Sun Sentinel (8/1, Roustan, 155K) reports a Broward jury awarded the family of Laura Grossman $37.5 million dollars “after the R.J. Reynolds tobacco company was found partially responsible for the Coral Springs woman’s death” of lung cancer in 1995. The decision is likely to be appealed, but in the trial, family attorney Scott Schlesinger “argued Laura Grossman was too young to assess the risks at 15” and that Reynolds and the tobacco industry targeted her “as an adolescent susceptible to nicotine addiction.”
