Philip Morris USA Inc. faces a $11.65 million award in a Fort Lauderdale smoker’s product liability case after a judge lowered a $300 million verdict in an earlier trial.
Cindy Naugle, 65, a sister of former Fort Lauderdale Mayor Jim Naugle, quit smoking in 1993 but suffers from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. She sued in 2007 and made headlines in 2009 with the massive jury award.
