Judge Alters Single Trial for Ethicon Mesh Cases, says Legal-Bay Lawsuit Settlement Funding

LOS ANGELES - July 30, 2015 - PRLog -- Legal-Bay LLC, The Lawsuit Settlement Funding Company, reports today that the judge overseeing approximately 33K TVM cases against Ethicon has pushed back and altered the single trial that was meant to start in November. The initial trial that was scheduled included 26 claims from women, but new plaintiffs were added and it now involves 39 women. Additionally, the trial has been pushed to December 7^th. The alterations were made after data emerged that some of the women involved were implanted with multiple mesh devices.

There are currently over 70K cases regarding transvaginal mesh devices. Johnson & Johnson’s Ethicon subsidiary is just one manufacturer involved, and the company currently faces about 33K mesh cases (MDL 2327). Due to the high volume of cases, U.S. District Judge Joseph Goodwin is overseeing seven different multidistrict litigations (MDL) for filed cases against several mesh manufacturers. Ethicon alone has lost four cases already.

Chris Janish, CEO of Legal-Bay, commented on the recent announcement of the changes to the upcoming trial, "The 39 case single trial will be a great opportunity to expedite the J&J and Ethicon portion of the transvaginal mesh litigation. To date, J&J has not fared well in the trials that they have defended, however, they continue to fight over 30,000 claims in which many women victims are waiting for resolution. Unfortunately, many of the women who have opted-in to other settlement cases have only walked away with $100K and are still waiting to receive their funds."
