In the event of a zombie apocalypse, no one is ever completely safe because regardless of how many zombies a person fights off, there are always more right behind them. In Madison County, there is a lawsuit, which much like a zombie attack, keeps coming back again and again. Madison County Circuit Judge Dennis Ruth is currently deliberating on whether or not to bring back a $10.1 billion lawsuit against tobacco companies for allegedly misleading customers by labeling some cigarettes as “light.”
The Illinois Supreme Court threw out the award in 2005, but a ruling from a state appellate court last year has opened up the door for the possibility of the lawsuit to be reinstated. The personal injury lawyers involved in this case continue to be rejected. In fact the New Hampshire Supreme Court just recently overturned a lower court order that provided class certification to plaintiffs who purchased Marlboro Lights since 1995.
They keep getting rejected but they keep coming back. Only time will tell if/when this lawsuit ever comes to an end. One thing is for certain: Madison County is once again emerging as one of the nation’s worst “judicial hellholes.” It is time to put an end to the relentless stream of lawsuits and concentrate on bringing jobs, not lawsuits to the Metro East.
