Following up on one of my blog posts from earlier this week, it was announced this morning that Boston Scientific was hit with a $73 Million verdict in a trial that took place in Dallas, Texas. The jury awarded $23 Million in compensatory damages and $50 Million in punitive damages to the Plaintiff. Boston Scientific faces upwards of 12,000 similar lawsuits.
It was reported the Texas jury deliberated for one day.
The defendant will certainly appeal.
