Ann Gurkin Law Quotations

My initial reaction is no, it will not bankrupt the companies. Florida passed a law that if companies have to post a bond to pay huge punitive damages, it's capped. But that law has not been tested.

As governor, Bush took a stand to limit liabilities imposed in lawsuits against gun manufacturers, HMO's and other businesses. Because tobacco is also a legal product, we believe Bush would support similar limits on cash damages awarded to plaintiffs in lawsuits filed against tobacco companies.
