The devastating effects of tobacco use were known by tobacco manufacturers decades before they were fully understood by the public. Cigarette smoking is known as a major cause and contributor to the development of lung cancer. Many individuals who have been diagnosed with lung cancer related to cigarette smoking don’t think they can win a tobacco lawsuit. That is not necessarily true. We won a verdict of $43.1 million against tobacco manufacturer R.J. Reynolds.
When Should a Tobacco Lawsuit be Pursued?
At this time, Shepard O’Donnell is only bringing tobacco lawsuits in Massachusetts. There is a 3 year statute of limitations to bring personal injury lawsuits in Massachusetts, including suits for tobacco-related injuries. If you were diagnosed with lung cancer more than 3 years ago, we are not able to help. Even if your diagnosis is less than three years old, there may not be sufficient time to get a case in suit, so contact us right away if you are interested in pursuing a claim.
