Blog - Tobacco Litigation

Posted on May 23, 2023 by Marty Aisenberg

I was under the impression that the tobacco industry had settled all the claims against it.  I was mistaken.  The major tobacco companies settled with 46 states in 1998.  Claims by individual smokers were not covered.  A recent case that brought this fact to my attention and required me to do some research to alleviate my ignorance is Greene v. Philip Morris USA Inc. (Massachusetts, No. SJC-13330, 5/9/2023), https://www.mass.gov/files/documents/2023/05/09/w13330.pdf.
