Cardiovascular Systems said today it was found liable for approximately $25.1 million in damages in a whistleblower and wrongful termination suit involving a former regional sales manager.
The suit, filed by Steven Babyak in Nov. 16, 2015, alleged that the company engaged in retaliation and the eventual discharge of Babyak in response to his expressed concerns over issues relating to patient safety and violations of state and federal laws. Babyak worked for the company for 3 years, and was fired on June 1, 2015.
