A Philadelphia jury awarded Donna Kendall $6.3 million in compensatory damages and $28 million in punitive damages after finding that Wyeth's Prempro hormone-replacement drug caused her breast cancer and the double mastectomy that followed; the Pennsylvania Superior Court restored the full punitive award in 2012 after the trial judge had cut it to $1 million.
A Ulster County jury returned a $31 million verdict, the largest car-crash award in the county's history, for Kelly Burley, who developed cauda equina syndrome and permanent wheelchair dependence after a moving truck rear-ended her vehicle on the Mid-Hudson Bridge in 2019.
A Manhattan jury awarded $6.45 million to a 53-year-old avid salsa dancer who slipped on fish guts left on a Broadway sidewalk outside the Citarella gourmet grocery, dislocated her knee, tore three ligaments, and required at least 12 surgeries over 11 years.
