Philip Morris’s appeal to reduce the $10.5 million awarded to Patricia Henley, a former smoker with lung cancer, in damages was rejected by the California Supreme Court on Wednesday, The Associated Press reported.
Ms. Henley was the first plaintiff to win a verdict against a tobacco company.
Philip Morris can request for the U.S. Supreme Court to further review the case.
