A Florida federal jury on Thursday sided with two service members who say they suffered hearing damage from using 3M earplugs, awarding the men $110 million in damages, the largest verdict in the sprawling multidistrict litigation's bellwether series to date, according to attorneys for the plaintiffs.
Clark Love & Hutson
HOUSTON – Two are law firms were recently sued by former clients over the handling of their transvaginal mesh complaints.
Seeking more than $1 million in damages, Linda Smith and Sandra Benoit filed suit against Clark Love & Hutson and the Lee & Murphy Law Firm on May 13 in Harris County District Court.
According to the lawsuit, each of the women signed contingent fee agreements with the law firms to represent them in litigation against Boston Scientific Corporation.
Smith, a California resident, claims the firms created a higher value for a settlement for clients whose cases had been filed in a court of competent jurisdiction and discriminated against clients, like herself, whose “suit was not filed through no fault of her own.”
