As anyone reading this know, the bad water at Camp Lejeune has caused countless suffering. For decades the water was contaminated with toxic chemicals known to cause cancer and a host of other serious diseases and health conditions. Hundreds of thousands of service members and civilians drank, bathed in, cooked with, and swam in that water. Now the former residents and employees of Camp Lejeune are suffering the devastating consequences of this exposure.

The federal government recently passed a new law that allows victims to bring lawsuits and get compensation for harm caused by the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune. In this post, we will look at the diseases and symptoms caused by exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.

There  1,300 Zimmer NexGen knee product liability lawsuits are pending throughout the country.  Countless more victims are waiting on the sidelines (maybe soon to lose their rights because of the statute of limitations).

The progress on these knee replacement lawsuits in recent months can best be summarized by “well, they are coming along.”  Now, at least, there is a more concrete plan to move this litigation forward.

On March 24th, Judge Rebecca R. Pallmeyer, the judge overseeing all the consolidated federal cases pending in the U.S. District Courts, identified six cases that will be part of the “initial tranche” of Zimmer NexGen bellwether trials. A bellwether trial consists of test cases that allow the parties to see what a jury will do with a claim that is typical of the class.  Why?  So the parties can get a better idea of the value of the cases.   These are called bellwether cases, often precursors for settlement talks, are expected to begin in 2015.

First introduced in 1995, NexGen Complete Knee Solution System was one of Zimmer’s most successful knee products.

In 2001, Zimmer attempted to capitalize on the success of this product line by releasing a modified version of the original design, the NexGen Flex line of products, designed to achieve 155 degrees of flexion.

Most components were approved without extensive trials or FDA investigation into their safety through the 510K fast-track approval program.  This FDA program allows medical devices to enter the market without requiring manufacturers to conduct clinical studies.

Instead, the manufacturer must only demonstrate the device is substantially equivalent to other similar products already on the market. So the actual product that goes into a patient’s knee is not tested like these medical devices should be tested.
