Multiple Millions: Class Action Product Liability / Defective Breast Implants

Product Liability

We represented a couple hundred women in a class action case against various manufacturers of silicone breast implants. The litigation spanned several years and eventually the major manufacturers agreed to a global settlement of over four billion dollars. As part of the settlement process, we obtained medical records for each of our clients and arranged for them to be evaluated by well- qualified physicians. We had the physicians prepare detailed medical reports, focusing specifically on the criteria outlined in the terms of the settlement agreement. We submitted the reports and in the cases that the settlement administrator disagreed with our assessment, we challenged their findings with remarkable success rates. In nearly every case, we were able to obtain the maximum allowable recovery for our respective client’s injuries.
