A woman alleging she’s suffering the effects of shoddy installation of a urinary sling has been awarded $2 million by a Clarion County jury.
The jury found that Dr. Arthur Thorpe of Women’s Healthcare of Clarion was at fault for plaintiff Lynne Niemynski’s injuries. The jury’s verdict broke down into $21,500 for past medical expenses, $250,000 for noneconomic damages, $20,000 each year from 2017 to 2034, and a $1 million lump sum for future noneconomic loss. For loss of consortium, Niemynski’s husband was awarded a total of $368,500.
