Class action against tobacco companies

October 21, 2024 – If you are the heir of a tobacco victim who passed after November 20, 1998, you can register them without providing their Health Insurance Number. Contact one of the class action agents directly at 1-888-880-1844. For further information, we invite you to visit tobacco class actions website.
