Zimmer NexGen MDL Nearing Settlement with a Confidential Deal
Zimmer NexGen MDL Nearing Settlement with a Confidential Deal
Introduction
Zimmer NexGen knee implant multidistrict litigation may end soon as counsel heading a group of consumers confirmed about a final confidential settlement for nearly 300 lawsuits.
The counsel for the plaintiffs told the U.S. District Judge Rebecca Pallmeyer, the 7-year ongoing litigation would be resolved soon after minor administrative task completion. The undisclosed amount if approved would be divided among plaintiffs who filed lawsuits against Zimmer claiming complications occurred due to the defectively designed knee implant.
Zimmer NexGen knee implant lawsuits were consolidated in 2011, as a part of MDL 2272 (In Re: Zimmer NexGen Knee Implant Products Liability Litigation) in the Northern District of Illinois.
