Transvaginal Mesh News: $5.7MM Verdict Reached against Johnson & Johnson's Ethicon Subsidiary, Says Lawsuitsettlementnews.com

LOS ANGELES, March 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- MT Services LLC, a Lawsuit Settlement News Reporting Company which operates lawsuitsettlementnews.com, reports today that a recent announcement was made stating that a California jury has awarded a $5.7 million verdict against Johnson & Johnson's Ethicon subsidiary over their Gynecare TVT Abbrevo vaginal mesh device. The woman plaintiff involved, Coleen Perry, who said the mesh started to erode in her body causing pain, was awarded $700K in compensatory damages and $5MM in punitive damages. The verdict was reached after more than three days of deliberations in Kern County, California. According to The Legal Examiner, the jurors found that J&J's Ethicon acted with gross negligence. This verdict is the fourth win for plaintiffs who have sued Ethicon over their transvaginal mesh devices. Ethicon won one trial in federal court in West Virginia, and another trial over its mesh products is set to start on Monday.

This is the latest news in the transvaginal mesh litigations where a high award was reached. Currently, there is also a federal trial in progress involving Ethicon mesh in the U.S. District Court of West Virginia. There are seven different multidistrict litigations (MDL) for filed cases against several different mesh manufacturers under U.S. District Judge Joseph Goodwin.

Chris Janish, CEO of MTS, commented on the recent verdict, "It seems that J&J and their Ethicon division have taken the brunt of the losses so far in the early bellwether trial. It seems that the jury in at least 3 of the 4 cases has awarded substantial sums of money; and women who have experienced problems who have not spoken with an attorney yet should seriously be considering if they also have a claim worth a substantial amount of money or possible settlement value."

Time may be limited to do so as more manufacturers settle the claims against them. Settlements in other cases with serious side effects and multiple revision surgeries have netted some plaintiffs settlements in the $500K range. In order to obtain compensation you must file a timely lawsuit with the assistance of a mesh law firm.
