In addition to the cases involved in this settlement offering, there are still thousands of claims against Boston Scientific which have been consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL) under U.S. District Judge Joseph Goodwin in the Southern District of West Virginia (Boston Scientific MDL 2326).

Chris Janish, CEO of Legal-Bay, commented on the recent settlement, "We are excited to see that Boston Scientific is beginning to settle some of their mesh claims, and women can now get the financial relief they deserve. However, thousands of claims still remain pending, and most women will not see funds until next year. Women in need of a transvaginal mesh lawsuit cash advance can access funds right now, regardless if their case is settled or not."

Legal-Bay, a law cash advance company, is ready to help women plaintiffs with various lawsuit funding services if they have a lawyer already. This includes providing up to a $50K cash advance today on pre-settled cases and up to $250K on settled cases or cases that have won large mesh jury verdicts and now are a verdict on appeal or judgment on appeal case.
