What the MDL Means For You

The MDL is limited to Boston Scientific devices and is not a class action. Each injured patient keeps an individual case, and the value of your case depends on your injuries and records. Reports indicate the court has allowed new cases to be filed directly into the MDL. We will explain the best path for your case.
