Arizona Federal Jury Awards $3.6 Million in Damages to Plaintiff in IVC Filter Case

A federal jury in Arizona’s verdict included $2 million in punitive damages against the makers of an implanted IVC blood filter that broke apart and left fragments in a woman’s heart and lodged in her artery. More than 3,500 suits have been filed against C.R. Bard over the devices. This past Friday on March 30, 2018, in the US District Court of Arizona, in front of Judge David G. Campbell, plaintiff Sherr-Una Booker was awarded $3.6 million dollars which is includes: $2 million dollars in punitive damages and an additional $1.6 million dollars for compensatory damages in an IVC filter liability settlement with the device’s manufacturer – Bard, Inc.

After 6.5 hours of deliberation, this federal jury decided that Bard was responsible for 80% of harm after their Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) Filter, “known as a G2 model,” broke apart in Booker’s body.  Do you currently litigate or market IVC and other mass tort cases?
