The federal court overseeing the
DePuy hip replacement lawsuits pending against DePuy Orthopaedics held a status
conference yesterday. Lawyers from the consumer injury law firm Bernstein
Liebhard LLP and a number of other law firms which have also filed cases on
behalf of those suffering injuries from the recalled DePuy hip implants
attended the hearing.
The hearing came shortly after the
federal lawsuits concerning DePuy hip replacements were consolidated by the
Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) before United States District
Court Judge David A. Katz of the Northern District of Ohio.
The hearing yesterday focused on
which lawyers would serve on the plaintiffs’ steering committee. The lawyers at
the hearing, most of whom represent plaintiffs in DePuy hip lawsuits, were each
given two minutes to give a presentation before Judge Katz. Defense
counsel representing DePuy Orthopaedics were present in the courtroom.
Judge Katz will likely make a decision about the membership of the steering
committee in the next few weeks, before the next DePuy hip court conference,
which Judge Katz indicated may be in early February.
