Legal-Bay Reports IVC Filter Lawsuit News: Cook Medical Requests More Time to Prepare for Settlement Negotiations
Lawsuitssettlementfunding.com, a Case Funding Firm, reports that a settlement conference was scheduled to take place in February and then was pushed back to March, but Cook Medical Inc. requested a postponement and asked for an additional 60 days for preparation.
PATERSON, N.J., March 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Legal-Bay LLC, The Lawsuit Settlement Funding Company which operates lawsuitssettlementfunding.com, reported today that Cook Medical Inc. recently requested more time to prepare for settlement negotiations over the IVC filter lawsuits against them. According to The Legal Examiner, the court had originally scheduled a settlement conference for February – where potential settlement negotiations would be discussed – and it was pushed back to March 22nd-24th. However, in a recent motion, the defendants requested a postponement and asked for an additional 60 days for time to prepare.

According to the article, the motion was submitted to the court on February 9th of this year, indicating that the defendants retained their settlement counsel on February 5th. They asserted that "said counsel needs time to investigate the Cook IVC lawsuits that are pending in the MDL, review information regarding the medical devices, and confer with their clients."
If the parties do not reach a settlement agreement when the conference occurs, the bellwether trials are likely to go forward as planned.
More than 250 cases are currently pending in the multidistrict litigation (MDL 2570) in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Indiana, and legal experts expect the number to rise. The lawsuits have similar allegations, claiming that Cook Medical Inc. failed to let patients know that the IVC filters break, tilt, and migrate from the initial insertion position and then puncture the lungs, heart, or inferior vena cava.
