"When searching for legal representation one should ask for three primary criteria. First, does this attorney have the critical experience to fight for my cause? The second criteria would be does this person have the staying power to go the entire fifteen rounds for me? Lastly, can I trust this individual to do what’s is in my best interest and not their own?

In Beth Klein, I found an attorney who filled all three without reservation. In her representation of me, she proved to be tireless, determined, and continually taught her opposing counsel on the finer points of Law. I was genuinely taken by the manner in which she generated the belief that the opposition’s defense was so shallow.

In retrospect, Beth Klein is not a good lawyer. No, she is one of the best legal minds to ever step inside of a courtroom."

$1.2 Billion Settlement in Defective Hip Implant Litigation

We represented many families in Colorado who were harmed as a result of the Sultzer Inter-Op Hip and Knee defects, we took action to ensure that the settlement was fair and attorneys fees reduced to all people affected by the recall.

In the federal litigation, In re Sulzer Hip Prosthesis and Knee Prosthesis Liability Litigation, MDL 1410, Beth Klein played a significant role in negotiating a revised settlement with Sulzer valued at more than $1 billion.  Beth Klein served on the national discovery and settlement team in the Sulzer Inter-Op Hip and Knee Implant MDL.  This case involved 27,000 people who had received hip implants that were contaminated with benzine containing motor oil.

When a "defendant friendly" settlement was reached with a signing kickback, Beth and her team objected and appealed to the 8th Circuit.  Through her team's efforts, the settlement value was substantially increased to $1.2 Billion.  

The Defendant had an insurance policy that included attorneys fees - known as a "pac man policy"  - meaning that the more work insurance defense lawyers performed, the less insurance was availalbe for the injured people.  Beth and her team negotiated with Sulzer to stop the wasting of the avaiable insurance and to issue shares to raise capital in phases so that a fully funded settlement could be achieved.

Beth's team insisted that all lawyers' fees were reduced to 20% so that the people harmed, were helped.
