"$34.6 Million in Salazar v. Lopez: Edwards & de la Cerda, PLLC, Freese & Goss PLLC, Matthews & Associates, Capshaw &
A Texas state judge in October entered a $34.6 million judgment against Boston Scientific Corp. after a jury found it had negligently designed and marketed a pelvic mesh implant, slashing the jury's $50
million punitive damages award to $11.18 million under a state damages cap.
Dallas County District Judge Ken Molberg signed off on a reduced judgment that lowered the jury's punitive damages award from $50 million to include $10.4 million in economic damages and $750,000 in
noneconomic damages. The judgment also includes nearly $23.5 million in actual damages for the plaintiffs who alleged Boston Scientific's Obtryx Transobturator MidUrethral Sling was defectively designed and marketed.
The Salazars are represented by Kevin Edwards and Peter de la Cerda of Edwards & de la Cerda, PLLC, Tim Goss and Tamara Banno of Freese & Goss PLLC, David Matthews and Julie Rhoades of Matthews & Associates, and Richard Capshaw of Capshaw & Associates."
