In re Guidant Defibrillators Products Liability Litigation
Court: United States District Court for the District of Minnesota
Case No.: 0:05-MD-01708 or MDL No. 1708
Wexler Wallace represented numerous personal injury claimants, as well as third party payors (which include union health and welfare benefit plans) in this multi-district litigation to recover damages as a result of the nationwide recall of Guidant’s implantable cardiovertable defibrillators (“ICDs”) and cardio resynchronization therapy defibrillators (“CRT-Ds”). After significant litigation, Guidant resolved the cases in the MDL for $195 million.
