Closing of Biomet Metal-on-Metal Hip MDL Does Not Mean No More Litigation

• October 2, 2018
• Hip Replacements, Medical Device Lawsuits

The Multi-District Litigation (MDL 2391) for the Biomet metal-on-metal hip closed September 1, 2018 to any new cases. However, this does not mean that potential Biomet Magnum and M2a clients should be turned away.

Nash & Franciskato, in partnership with Maglio Christopher & Toale, P.A., has been litigating these cases outside the MDL in state courts. As such, we are independent from the discovery limitations set forth in the MDL, which has enabled our firms to conduct extensive fact and expert discovery.

MDL Closing Does Not Stop Biomet Metal-on-Metal Hip Litigation

Just because the MDL has closed to new cases does not mean that we will stop taking new cases. We will continue to file Biomet metal-on-metal hip complaints in state and federal courts across the country. Our firms have:

• Successfully overcome significant discovery hurdles that affected the federal cases in the MDL
• Reviewed millions of pages of internal Biomet documents produced in discovery
• Taken dozens of depositions from high-level Biomet management
• Consulted and retained leading orthopedic experts regarding the failure of Biomet metal-on-metal hips

Our partner, Maglio Christopher & Toale, P.A., has been litigating metal-on-metal hip implant cases for over 10 years and, in 2008, filed the first defective metal-on-metal hip lawsuit in the United States.
