MULTI DISTRICT LITIGATION and MASS TORTS are an attorney's dream. It may take millions of dollars to prosecute but with thousands and thousands of injured plaintiffs in the pools, the Return on Investment is spectacular.
Defense Attorneys have boiler plate defenses they have honed over the years. They fight tooth and nail and DON'T PAY until the absolute end of the presiding judge's patience.
CONFIDENTIALITY REIGNS!
No INJURED PLAINTIFF will ever know what happens as the years drag by, their medical needs grow, they lose their jobs, their homes, their families, their friends. They lose EVERYTHING!
So the giant money making MULTI DISTRICT LITIGATION MACHINE grinds on, protecting the profits of the companies, the jobs of the doctors and the multimillion dollar incomes of ALL the attorneys, plaintiff and defense.
MASS TORTS ARE NOT MADE PERFECT FOR THE INJURED PLAINTIFFS!

BAD LAWS, BAD DRUGS, BAD DEVICES & GREED. SO WHO WILL BE THE NEXT PROMINENT CLASS ACTION ATTORNEY LIKE STANLEY CHESLEY DISBARRED FOR SKIMMING A SETTLEMENT FUND?
FOUR HUNDRED (400) PLAINTIFFS GOT $46 MILLION DOLLARS.
ONE (1) ATTORNEY, STANLEY CHESLEY GOT PAID $20 MILLION DOLLARS FOR HIS INVOLVEMENT IN THE SETTLEMENT NEGOTIATIONS ONLY...HE DID NOT EVEN APPEAR AT TRIAL. HE LOST HIS LICENSE TO PRACTICE LAW BUT DID NOT HAVE TO REPAY THE MONEY.
THE PATIENTS WERE PAWNS IN THIS CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WHERE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WERE PAID IN CONFIDENTIAL SETTLEMENTS AND EVEN THE JUDGE COLLUDED WITH THE ATTORNEYS.
HOW DO PATIENTS KNOW THEY ARE RECEIVING THEIR FAIR SHARE OF SETTLEMENTS IN CLASS ACTIONS AND MASS TORTS? ANSWER: THEY DON'T.
JUST LIKE HEALTHCARE, PATIENTS WHO BECOME PLAINTIFFS ARE IN THE DARK WITH LITTLE OR NO INFLUENCE OVER A MAJOR LIFE ALTERING EVENT.
WE CAN ONLY HOPE THERE ARE NOT ANY "STANLEY CHESLEYS" IN THE ONGOING HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN THE TRANSVAGINAL MESH SETTLEMENTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY! BUT DON'T COUNT ON IT. WITH ETHICON & WELLS FARGO IN THE MIX THERE ARE BOUND TO BE SOME NEW "CRASHES & BURNS".

"STANLEY CHESLEY, TITAN OF THE PLAINTIFF'S BAR, CRASHES AND BURNS"
The big-time plaintiffs’ bar justifies its multimillion-dollar fees by claiming to vindicate the “little guy.” Justice ain’t free, according to free-wheeling trial lawyers, and taking on (alleged) corporate villains requires heavy pecuniary incentives.
Sadly, the titans of this elite segment of the bar have a tendency to flame out in spectacular bursts of greed and deceit, undercutting their claims of righteous dedication. The latest example is famed class-action attorney Stanley Chesley of Cincinnati, for decades one of the leading scourges of industries that range from pharmaceuticals, to chemicals, to firearms.
The Kentucky Supreme Court on March 21 upheld Chesley’s disbarment in that state for “unreasonable” fees received in the settlement of a class action originally filed in 1999 against Wyeth, now part of Pfizer. The allegation stemmed from $20 million in fees Chesley received for his involvement in an action concerning the diet drug known as fen-phen (fenfluramine/phentermine), which was shown to cause harmful side effects. The case was settled in 2001 for $200 million.
Under Ohio’s Rules of Professional Responsibility for lawyers, the disbarment in Kentucky may provide grounds for Chesley to get drummed out of the legal trade in his home state, as well.
Here’s a helpful description of Chesley’s troubles from Bloomberg News:
“In 2009, two Kentucky lawyers involved in the case were sentenced to 20 years and 25 years in prison for stealing from the [diet drug] settlement fund. The lawyers had contracts entitling them to fees of as much as one-third of the $200 million awarded to a statewide group of Kentucky citizens who said they were harmed by diet drug. The lawyers tried to keep more than twice that amount, prosecutors said.
In its 38-page decision, the Kentucky Supreme Court noted that Chesley didn’t meet directly with any of the clients to effectuate the settlement, and it wasn’t shown that he had specific knowledge of the deception practiced on each client to secure the signed release.
The court did find that his “$20,497,121.87 share of the fee was unreasonable, especially in light of his professed ignorance and lack of responsibility for any aspect of the litigation except showing up at the mediation and going through the motions of announcing the agreement.”
BE SURE TO READ THE WHOLE STORY AT BLOOMBERG...IT'S WAY TOO JUICY TO MISS!
FROM MY PERSPECTIVE AS A PATIENT, A PATIENT ADVOCATE AND A LEGAL CONSULTANT, THIS IS A MESS CREATED BY BAD LAWS, BAD DRUGS AND DEVICES AND GREED. IT IS A SYSTEMIC ISSUE CREATED BY THE AMERICAN HEALTHCARE SYSTEM WHICH DOES NOT PROTECT PATIENTS.
MY ADVICE: STAY WELL, STAY OUT OF THE HOSPITAL AND DON'T TAKE DRUGS UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. YOU MAY BE UNKNOWINGLY HARMING YOURSELF!
BEST, BLESSINGS, LANA

TOTALLY SICKENING, DISGUSTING THAT SO MANY (NOT ALL) MISOGYNISTIC MEN AND WOMEN ATTORNEYS DO NOT PROTECT ANYONE BUT THEMSELVES AND THEIR GREEDY POCKETBOOKS.
8th Circ. Upholds Jail Terms For Egg Execs Over Salmonella By Martin O'Sullivan Law360, New York (July 6, 2016, 3:41 PM ET) --
An Eighth Circuit panel on Wednesday upheld the jail terms for two Iowa egg magnates whose company was tied to a nationwide salmonella outbreak, saying the sentences were not disproportionate considering some 56,000 people got sick.
A split panel affirmed U.S. District Judge Mark Bennett’s decision that Quality Egg LLC owner Austin “Jack” DeCoster and his son, Chief Operating Officer Peter DeCoster, must spend three months each in jail and pay $100,000 apiece due to a 2010 salmonella outbreak that caused a 550 million egg recall...

“Vaginal Mesh MDL Judge Sick And Tired Of Bogus Suits By Steven Trader Law360, New York “ (September 7, 2016, 7:59 PM ET) -- The Georgia federal judge overseeing multidistrict litigation that alleges a Johnson & Johnson unit's defective pelvic mesh implants caused painful infections warned plaintiffs counsel Wednesday that frivolous lawsuits will no longer be tolerated and could trigger sanctions.
U.S. District Chief Judge Clay D. Land said he has spent a considerable amount of time and judicial resources deciding summary judgments in consumer lawsuits against Mentor Corp. that plaintiffs counsel should have dismissed earlier or that should have never been brought in the first place. “Enough is enough,”...
“J&J Talc Suits Show Evidence Standards Vary Among Courts By Emily Field Law360, New York” (September 7, 2016, 5:49 PM ET) -- A New Jersey state judge's decision to toss two suits alleging that Johnson & Johnson's talcum-based products caused ovarian cancer on the heels of two major trial losses for the company in similar cases highlights the different views courts have taken on the validity of scientific evidence linking talc to the disease.
Months after Missouri state juries slammed J&J with $55 million and $72 million verdicts in suits claiming that the company's talc products caused two women to develop ovarian cancer, a New Jersey state judge found...
