π¨ Spinal Cord Stimulator Lawsuit Update
Who made your stimulator now decides where your case goes.
On October 2, federal judges split spinal cord stimulator lawsuits into three separate courts, one for each manufacturer:
βοΈ Boston Scientific: MDL 3181, Los Angeles, CA
βοΈ Abbott: MDL 3194, Chicago, IL
βοΈ Nevro: MDL 3195, San Francisco, CA
Why it matters: Abbott's court sits in the Seventh Circuit, while Boston Scientific and Nevro sit in the Ninth, and those circuits apply different standards to device-injury claims early in a case.
