Surgin Surgical Wins $58 Million: An Orange County Superior Court
judge awarded Surgin Surgical Instrumentation Inc., a Placentia surgical
equipment maker, more than $58 million in a lawsuit against an affiliate
of Farmers Insurance Group. The judge found that Truck Insurance Exchange
of Los Angeles acted in bad faith by not representing Surgin properly
when it was hit with two patent infringement lawsuits. As a result,
Surgin said it lost more than $12 million in profits when it was forced
to stop making a device used in cataract surgery. Truck Insurance
officials denied any wrongdoing and vowed to appeal the decision.
