Legal-Bay, a Case Funding Firm, says the high verdict award for the woman plaintiff was reached on December 21st, while thousands of TVM lawsuits are still pending against Johnson & Johnson's Ethicon subsidiary.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Legal-Bay LLC, The Lawsuit Settlement Funding Company, reports today that a woman plaintiff was awarded $12.5 million by a Philadelphia jury. The woman plaintiff, Patricia Hammons, was seriously injured by an Ethicon Prolift mesh implant. A jury in Philadelphia awarded the woman plaintiff $5.5 million in compensatory damages and $7 million in punitive damages. At this time, it is unknown whether Johnson & Johnson's Ethicon subsidiary will try to appeal the multi-million-dollar verdict against them or not. Regardless, thousands of transvaginal mesh lawsuits are currently pending against Ethicon, with similar claims against the company by women plaintiffs who have sustained serious injuries. A few hundred cases are likely to be prepared for trial throughout this year.
