The last bellwether trial against C.R. Bard, which was supposed to start on December 3, 2013 is being keenly awaited by the thousands of women who have pending claims against this mesh manufacturer. They are optimistic that like the previous cases against the same defendant, the decision of the jury will be favorable to the complainants.
It would appear that they have to wait till early January next year to hear the jury’s decision. This developed after Judge Joseph Goodwin of the US District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia issued a court order postponing to January 10, 2014 the hearing of the vaginal mesh lawsuit filed by Carolyn Jones and her husband.
So far, two lawsuits have been resolved in court with the juries handing out decisions finding C.R. Bard liable for the injuries suffered by the plaintiffs. Two other claims were also settled by C.R. Bard before trials can even begin.
It is the belief of many that the outcome of this trial will determine the course of action that Bard will take. Should the decision favor the plaintiffs, they are hoping that Bard will decide to settle all other pending cases.
