CHARLESTON, W.Va., April 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Legal-Bay LLC, The Lawsuit Settlement Funding Company, announced today that U.S. District Judge Joseph Goodwin has ordered another joint conference status meeting to hopefully resolve more than 70,000 TVM lawsuits against seven different mesh manufacturers. It is no secret that the TVM multidistrict litigations (MDL) have been dragging on for some time now. With over 70K transvaginal mesh (TVM) lawsuits against seven different mesh manufacturers, the process was expected to take some time. The manufacturers involved in the ordered joint conference status meeting include: American Medical Systems, Bard Avaulta, Boston Scientific, Coloplast, Cook, and Johnson & Johnson's Ethicon. The pretrial order was issued by U.S. District Judge Joseph Goodwin on April 2^nd, and the meeting will take place on June 2^nd with all of the listed defendant representatives, according to a court document ((1) Bard/TSL & Sofradim MDL 2187; (2) Boston Scientific MDL 2326; (3) Ethicon MDL 2327; (4) Coloplast MDL 2387; (5) Cook MDL 2440).

The lawsuits allege that the different TVM devices (or bladder slings) and brands caused serious injuries to the women plaintiffs who were implanted with the devices to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP) or female stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Lawsuits were consolidated into multidistrict litigations in order to hopefully resolve the high number of lawsuits efficiently and quickly with large scale settlements. The proceedings will be taking place in Charleston in the U.S. District Court, Southern District, of West Virginia under U.S. District Judge Joseph Goodwin.

Chris Janish, CEO of Legal-Bay, commented on the recent joint conference status meeting, "This is a major step in resolving the vast majority of remaining claims through a global settlement amount for similar type cases, as opposed to lengthy litigation. Due to the varying degrees of injuries, recent jury verdicts and reported settlement values on mesh claims have been inconsistent. The judge seems to be trying to streamline the process so that it will move quickly and be fair to all."

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. Verdict on appeal cases take time to resolve through the courts and Legal-Bay's verdict on appeal programs are prudent for plaintiffs to take advantage of in case of a reversal of fortune.
