Settlement in Defective Hip Implant
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 benzene 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 available for the injured
people. Beth and her team negotiated with Sulzer to stop the wasting of
the available 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.

Seat Belt Verdict
A young woman was driving home to Colorado from Utah when, for unknown
reasons, she lost control and went off the road and her car rolled over.
The roof and other structures held up fairly well, but the young woman
sustained catastrophic injuries including a high spine fracture leaving
her quadriplegic and needing to use a ventilator to breathe during part
of her day.
The investigation determined that the seat belt was defective. The seat
belt defect, called “skip locking,” prevented the seat belt
from locking properly and holding the woman in her seat. Instead, the
seat belt failed to lock quickly, allowing several inches of the seat
belt webbing to spool out and allowing the woman to hit her head at the
top of the windshield causing her broken neck.
After a four week trial in the Denver District Court, the jury agreed with
the Plaintiff’s case and found that the seat belt was indeed defective
and caused the woman’s permanent injuries. The jury, after hearing
evidence of the extensive medical treatment which had taken place and
was also needed in the future, awarded a $17.5 million dollar verdict.
