Civil Plaintiff
Jury Awards Hawaii Man $4.8M for Injuries Suffered from Faulty Hernia Patch
A Superior Court jury on Monday awarded a Hawaii man $4.8 million for injuries he suffered from faulty surgical mesh implanted during a hernia repair.
The jury reached its verdict Monday after a month-long trial before Judge Richard A. Licht, holding Warwick-based manufacturer Davol Inc., a division of C.R. Bard, liable for “severe gastrointestinal injuries” suffered by Paul Trevino, according to Motley Rice, the law firm representing Trevino.
The jury deliberated five days before finding the company negligent in the development and sale of its Ventralex mesh hernia repair patch, the firm said.
