This verdict, which at the time was largest actual damages award ever obtained in any IVC filter case, was tried by a team of lawyers led by Ben C. Martin. The jury in Brand v. Cook Medical Inc. and William Cook Europe, found, for the first time, that a medical device company had defectively designed an IVC filter.Since then, our trial lawyers have won four other IVC filter verdicts in jury trials against C. R. Bard, Inc. and Bard Peripheral Vascular, Inc. (“Bard”), including a $3.3 million actual damages verdict that broke the firm’s previous record, in one of the largest such awards nationwide in an IVC filter case.Ben Martin Law Group’s recent trial successes are not limited to IVC filters; they include a wrongful death case tried in Dallas, Texas against a multi-billion dollar railroad company. In Rigsby v. Kansas City Southern Railway, a Dallas, Texas jury found the railroad responsible for the tragic death of a driver at a dangerous railroad crossing.These verdicts represent but a small portion of the verdicts obtained by Ben Martin and Ben Martin Law Group lawyers through the years, and are a telling indicator that the unfailing and dedicated work by the talented lawyers and staff at the firm make those results happen.
