Overview
SmithAmundsen defended a medical device manufacturer in federal court against a wrongful death and products liability case brought by the estate of an 83-year-old woman who died from severe COPD. After discovery proved that it was physically impossible for the device to have caused the decedent’s injuries the way she claimed and none of her doctors blamed the device for her death, we negotiated a settlement at a pre-trial hearing for less than 5% of the plaintiff’s settlement demand.
