Biomet Asks Judge To Ax $21M Hip Implant Verdict
Law360 (December 21, 2020, 8:06 PM EST) Biomet Inc. has asked a Missouri federal judge to reverse a jury verdict granting $21 million to a woman and her husband who alleged her Biomet-made hip implants caused her injury, arguing that her claim of negligent design fails because the jury rejected her strict liability design claim.
The company said in a memorandum Friday that the court should change its November judgment in Biomet s favor on all claims brought against it by Mary Bayes and her husband, Philip Bayes, arguing their win can t be sustained after the jury found in favor of the company regarding the strict liability design defect.
