The biggest lawsuit judgments are qui tam cases, or “on behalf of the king”, more commonly known as “whistle blower” cases and come from the pharmaceutical industry. What this means is there is always a bad act involving money over health (typically also involving a fraud of some kind), an employee that attempts to bring the fraud/bad act to the attention of supervisors (not knowing the company is fully and intentionally engaging in the unlawful act), and then retaliatory action by the company against the employee/whistle blower. Just 2 years after this case, Pfizer was the defendant in another qui tam case for…off label marketing of another drug. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qui_tam https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qui_tam
