U.S. Supreme Court Upholds Hormone Therapy Decision for Plaintiffs
The Supreme Court rejected Pfizer’s appeal in the Scroggins case, where a jury rendered a compensatory damages verdict of $2.75 million. Pfizer wanted the Supreme Court to order a new trial on the entire case—compensatory and punitive damages, as well as causation. The trial jury decided on $27 million for punitive damages, and Pfizer will get a new trial on that.
Wyeth has lost seven out of eleven cases (at the trial level) since 2006.
