The Xarelto plaintiff who had her nearly $28 million verdict reversed last month has outlined the issues she plans to raise to the Pennsylvania Superior Court as part of her effort to have the multimillion-dollar award reinstated.
Plaintiff Lynn Hartman on Monday filed a four-page brief challenging Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas Judge Michael Erdos' ruling from last month that granted the defense's motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict and eliminated the $27.8 million award a jury handed up in December. The award had been the first win for plaintiffs in the Xarelto litigation after four consecutive losses in federal court.
Hartman's appeal challenges, among other things, a statement by the judge that the defendants “deserve a new trial on account of plaintiffs' highly inflammatory remarks during closing.”
