The Madison County Record reported on July 24th that there have been over 9,800 Yaz lawsuits filed in federal court. The Record quotes Chief U.S. District Judge David Herndon (who is in charge of the Yaz litigation) as stating that Yaz cases “have been settling at a consistent rate.” The average amount of a settlement was reported at $214,000 dollars – that’s based on roughly 1,500 settlements and a total settlement amount of about $300 million dollars.
Law professor Stephen Saltzburg predicted some time ago that more Yaz lawsuits would be filed once word of the settlements got out – and he was right. Cases are being filed at an increasing rate and more Yaz lawyers are accepting cases. Although there is no indication that Yaz settlement money is going to run out soon, anyone interested in a settlement should contact a good lawyer sooner rather than later to avoid lengthy delays as other women file lawsuits.
