Defense Team Secures Victory in $10M Multnomah County Medical Malpractice Case Involving Recalled Medical Device
Peter Eidenberg and Carolyn Pearson, with the help of paralegal Amber Zorra, obtained a defense verdict in a Multnomah County medical malpractice lawsuit seeking over $10 million dollars in damages. Plaintiff claimed that she suffered injuries as a result of the placement of a transvaginal mesh at a local hospital. Plaintiff alleged that the hospital should not have permitted the mesh to be used at the hospital because it was recalled by the product manufacturer prior to the plaintiff’s surgery. The plaintiff also alleged the co-defendant physician did not obtain her informed consent for use of the device. After an eight-day trial in August 2024, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the hospital and the physician, finding no negligence with respect to either defendant.
