Our Role in the DePuy Hip Replacement MDL Litigation
In January of 2011, Edward Blizzard, a senior partner at Blizzard, McCarthy & Nabers was named to the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee for the DePuy Orthopaedics’ recalled ASR Hip Implant. Ed’s previous experience, along with his reputation as a national leader in pharmaceutical and defective medical device litigation were key factors in this appointment.
Ed, along with a panel of other attorneys, will help guide the discovery phase of the DePuy hip replacement MDL, and act as a plaintiffs’ advocate during the pretrial phase of the litigation. The Plaintiffs' Steering Committee handles discovery, hearings, trial preparation, and procedural motions on issues common to all plaintiffs.
The appointment to the DePuy hip replacement MDL follows Ed Blizzard’s previous appointment to the Sulzer hip replacement litigation steering committee, where Ed was instrumental in negotiating the $1.2 billion settlement victims of that defective hip replacement.
