Breast Implant Lawsuit Lawyer Dies

John O’Quinn, the lawyer who won billions of dollars in verdicts against makers of breast implants and tobacco products, died at sixty-eight on Thursday. He and his passenger were killed in a car accident when their sport-utility vehicle crashed near downtown Houston. O’Quinn’s law firm said that his personal assistant, fifty-six-year-old Johnny Cutliff of Houston, was riding in the passenger seat.

O’Quinn was one of the five lawyers who shared in a $3.3 billion fee for assisting the state of Texas settle its lawsuit against the tobacco industry.
