J&J said the judge was planning on reducing the damages to around $185 million. According to New Jersey law, punitive damages are capped at 5 times liability damages, according to plaintiffs lawyer Chris Placitella. J&J said in a statement it would quickly appeal both phases of the trial, citing “numerous legal errors that subjected the jury to irrelevant information and prevented them from hearing meaningful evidence.”
