: Bodily Injury BlogAltria Ordered to Pay Damages to Smoker?s Daughter
By Edward Bills
A jury has ordered Altria Group Inc. to pay $13.8 million in punitive damages to the daughter of a smoker who died of lung cancer, Bloomberg reports. According to the original lawsuit, the cigarette maker misrepresented the risks of smoking in its advertising. In 2002, a jury awarded $28 million to the plaintiff. That award was later reduced and eventually thrown out prior to the most recent trial.
