Estate of Frank Townsend v. RJ Reynolds, et al.

Summary 

After a family lost someone to lung cancer, our compassionate attorneys took their case and recovered $91 million in the fight against Big Tobacco.

Case Study

The past century was full of commercials and advertisements that glamorized cigarettes and other tobacco products, which has undoubtedly resulted in the number of tobacco-related deaths we see each year. Unethical marketing strategies were popular amongst all major cigarette manufacturers, such as RJ Reynolds, Phillip Morris, and the Liggett Group, but now this approach to selling products is outlawed by multiple product liability laws. Attorneys John Dill, Keith Mitnik, and Greg Prysock understood the damage that these ad campaigns have had on the public and represented a client who had tragically lost a family member as a result of the falsehoods spread by Big Tobacco. Although the litigation couldn’t bring back the family member, it did recover over $90 million for the surviving family and held the unjust companies accountable for their crimes.
