Breast Implant Latest Update
*** IMPORTANT UPDATE 7/27/05 ***
For those of you that have been asking, here is the newest update. I will keep with my promise to “not” write in “legalese.” The areas that will be covered in this update are as follows:
| (a) | Status of doctors on the quality assurance or watch list. | ||
| (b) | Claims that are being denied because the medical report does not list Dow Corning or uses the small letter “s” for silicone/silastic in reports from 1970 and 1971. | ||
| (c) | Claimants who have received a deficiency notice from the SFDCT on their medical claim and the one year deadline is approaching. | ||
| (d) | Claimants who received a 50% settlement in the MDL-926 Class Action and the SFDCT has rejected their Dow proof and cannot recover the other 50%. | ||
| (e) | Claimants who received a 50% settlement in the MDL-926 Class Action and the SFDCT is approving their medical settlement at a lower level than was accepted in the MDL-926 Class Action. | ||
| (f) | What is happening with claims that were filed after November of 1999 and before August 31, 2004, that have been put on hold? | ||
| (g) | Denial of proof claims for Cronin implants received after 1971. | ||
| (h) | What can I do if my attorney will not return my calls or answer my questions and I do not know what is going on with my claim? |
