Brannock Humphries & Berman Again Featured on List of Florida’s Top Verdicts

After a year of data-gathering, the Top Verdict website has announced that two tobacco cases in which Brannock Humphries & Berman provided appellate support at trial were among the 50 best verdicts obtained in Florida in 2021, and one of those cases was among the 50 best wrongful-death verdicts nationwide.

The two cases represent impressive verdicts obtained against cigarette manufacturer R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company by two different talented trial teams, both with trial support from Brannock Humphries & Berman. In the first, the team of Avera & Smith, Trop Law Group, and Gordon & Partners obtained a $5.7 million verdict in Miami-Dade County for the wrongful death of the plaintiff’s husband of 49 years. This was the 28th largest verdict in Florida and 42nd largest wrongful-death verdict anywhere in the country during the 2021 calendar year. The second case, a $3 million verdict from Duval County for a living smoker of 35 years, was won by the team from Jax Litigation Group, Avera & Smith, and Farah & Farah. This was Florida’s 21st largest personal-injury verdict and 43rd largest overall verdict in 2021.
