Stryker Corp. won a complete defense verdict Friday in an action filed by the family of a man who died during lung surgery.

The case was tried over the past month before Senior Judge George Shahood in the Circuit Court of the 19th Judicial Circuit in St. Lucie County. The jury delivered the verdict about 11 a.m. Friday. Hildy Sastre and William Geraghty of Shook, Hardy & Bacon led the winning team for Stryker. They declined to comment, though Geraghty noted the family demanded up to $40 million at trial—$20 million each for the wife and son of William Cavanaugh—and that the company’s defense was that a nurse’s error caused the injury, not a device defect.
