Following
a Los Angeles jury’s award of $8.3 million to plaintiff Loren Kransky
in a DePuy ASR lawsuit, manufacturer Johnson & Johnson has asked the
Los Angeles Superior Court to put the award on hold while it files an
appeal, according to court documents. The Rottenstein Law Group urges
those looking to file a DePuy ASR lawsuit to not get discouraged by this
news.
“Whenever
a court awards millions of dollars to a plaintiff, an appeal by the
defendant follows almost as a matter of course—the costs of appealing
are small compared to the judgment amount, so the defendant has
relatively little to lose by challenging the trial court judgment in an
appellate court,” said Rochelle Rottenstein, principal of the
Rottenstein Law Group. “But an appeal is often a difficult thing to win,
and the simple fact of the appeal should not be discouraging to anyone
considering legal action against the maker of a drug or medical product
that caused harm. If the facts show that the product hurt the victim,
and the law provides for holding the manufacturer accountable for that
harm, then there is little to fear from an appeal of a verdict for the
victim."
