November 13, 2013 – Rumors began circulating this afternoon that Johnson & Johnson has agreed to a $4.0 billion products liability settlement to end the litigation of more than 7,500 pending lawsuits in state and federal courts, alleging metal-on-metal artificial hips, manufactured be subsidiary DePuy Orthopaedics, were defective.

If this turns out to be true then we weren’t far off on our prediction a few days ago that such a settlement was nigh.  In a game of horseshoes, this would have been called a “leaner” worth two points.

We’ll remained focused on the details of this settlement with great interest (assuming it pans out) as it unfolds over the course of the coming weeks and months and stand ready to assist anyone who can benefit from the unique advantages structured settlements afford them in this type of litigation.

NOTE:  It’s important to stress at this time that the terms of any settlement are said to be confidential so any reports, including this one, should be considered unofficial.
