San Diego, CA (PRWEB) February 05, 2014 -- AttorneyOne.com, a recognized authority on law, updated the website recently and now, can actively provide an expert opinion in view of the recent news on Hip Replacement lawsuits and potential Hip Replacement Class Action lawsuit.
Reuters published on February 4, that Biomet will pay at least $56 million to settle a Multidistrict litigation relating to defective metal hip replacements according to a court filing (MDL 2391, U.S. District Court, Northern District of Indiana). As the article mentions “plaintiffs who have received a Biomet M2a 38 or M2a Magnum hip replacement system as part of an initial hip replacement that was rectified more than 180 days after it was implanted shall receive a base award of $200,000.”
According to the Case Management Order, issued on December 16, 2013 in the Stryker Hip Implant Multicounty Litigation, four of six lawsuits chosen to undergo mediation have been settled (Superior Court of New Jersey, Bergen County, case no BER-L-1022-13, BER-L-850-13, BER-L-6878-12, BER-L-1744-13).
