Biomet Hip Lawsuits Move Forward, as Bernstein Liebhard LLP Notes Upcoming Case Management Conference in Federal Biomet Hip Replacement Litigation


New York, New York (PRWEB) May 26, 2013

The federal litigation established for Biomet hip lawsuits continues to move forward in U.S. District Court, Northern District of Indiana, Bernstein Liebhard LLP reports. According to the Courts website, the litigations next Case Management Conference has been scheduled for June 17th. All of the lawsuits pending in the Biomet hip replacement litigation allege the metal-on-metal design of the Biomet M2a Magnum hip can generate high levels of metal ions, leading to metallosis in the surrounding tissue and early failure of the device. (In re: Biomet M2a Magnum Hip Implant Products Liability Litigation MDL No. 2391)

Our Firm is already representing clients in the federal Biomet hip replacement litigation, and continues to receive inquiries from Biomet M2a hip recipients who have allegedly suffered serious and debilitating complications related to the metal-on-metal device. We are pleased to see this proceeding moving forward, says Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationwide law firm representing the victims of defective drugs and medical devices. The Firm continues to offer free Biomet hip lawsuit evaluations to individuals allegedly injured by the Biomet M2a hip.

Biomet Hip Lawsuits

Biomet M2a Magnum Hip Replacements are metal-on-metal hip implants, which consist of a ball and cup made from a chromium-cobalt alloy. As of March 2013, court documents indicated that more than 140 Biomet hip lawsuits were pending in the federal Biomet hip replacement litigation. All federally-filed Biomet hip lawsuits were ordered transferred to the Northern District of Indiana in October 2012, in anticipation of a large number of claims.

This past January, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) warned that metal debris shed as metal-on-metal hip components wear may accumulate to dangerous levels in the body. This occurrence can result in bone and/or soft tissue damage in the area surrounding the implant and joint, leading to adverse local tissue reactions, premature device failure, and even additional symptoms or illnesses elsewhere in the body. Among other things, the FDA cautioned doctors to consider metal ion testing if patients are experiencing symptoms of hip implant failure. According to the January announcement, the FDA is considering implementing new regulations for metal-on-metal hip implants that would make the devices ineligible for 510(k) clearances, which allowed such implants to come to market without human clinical trials.*

Alleged victims of Biomet hip replacement problems, including metallosis, hip implant failure, and other serious complications may be entitled to compensation for their medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. A wealth of information about Biomet hip lawsuits is available at Bernstein Liebhards website. For additional information, please contact one of our attorneys today by calling 800-511-5092.

The Collingwood Group to Conduct First Mortgage Industry Conference Call

Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) January 26, 2012

The Collingwood Group (Collingwood) is pleased to introduce its new offering — a series of industry conference calls — which will begin with a February 9, 2012 call entitled FHA Enforcement: Myths, Misconceptions and Facts. This call series comes as a result of Collingwoods launch of its new Risk Management and Compliance Division, established with its January 1, 2012 acquisition of GWN Consulting, LLC (GWN), a firm specializing in Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and Ginnie Mae risk management and quality control.

Collingwoods Risk Management and Compliance Division staff brings to the organization extensive FHA and Ginnie Mae knowledge and experience, and plans to share information on an ongoing basis with Collingwood clients and other industry colleagues. As part of this effort, the team will launch a series of educational conference calls, beginning with the first call FHA Enforcement: Myths, Misconceptions and Facts focusing on FHA Enforcement, Quality Assurance and Inspector General reviews and the Mortgagee Review Board. The call, offered at no cost to participants, will be held on February 9, 2012, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The call will be led by Collingwood Group Chairman and former FHA Commissioner Brian Montgomery, who will moderate a discussion between Karen Garner, Collingwood Group Managing Director and former HUD compliance manager and GWN Principal, and David Hintz, former Secretary to the HUD Mortgagee Review Board. It will also serve as an introduction to the services that the Risk Management and Compliance Division will offer.

Additional calls will be held moving forward, covering potential topics such as FHA Loss Mitigation tools, Ginnie Mae compliance reviews, and compliant and effective quality control plans.

This is a critical time for lenders and servicers struggling with compliance, litigation and claims management issues related to their FHA and Ginnie Mae operations, said Montgomery. The experience, insight, and relationships of our new Risk Management and Compliance Division staff can provide substantial information that will be helpful to these organizations in developing proactive, preventative activities in their compliance efforts.

The expansion of Collingwoods offerings and this call could not be more timely, given the issuance of the press release by Acting FHA Commissioner Carol Galante announcing changes to FHA authority for the lender insurance program and standards for indemnification requests. (Follow this link to the press release issued by HUD: http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/press/press_releases_media_advisories/2012/HUDNo.12-010)

With FHA toughening its standards, rules and penalties, and with volume that has grown to historically high levels, lenders and issuers can reasonably expect corresponding increases in the level of FHA audit, enforcement actions, and penalties. The goal of Collingwoods Risk Management and Compliance Division is to assist its clients with capabilities that now include FHA and Ginnie Mae lender/issuer applications and re-certifications, preparation and responses to audits or reviews, origination or servicing compliance and best practices, claims management and recoveries, program manuals and operating guides, and development of written and program training.

Garner is proud of the new divisions capabilities, saying, With our upcoming conference call series and new services, we are confident that we can provide substantial assistance to lenders and servicers as they focus on quality control activities that will enable them to proactively monitor performance and mitigate risk.
