Update on Dalkon Shield Litigation

As you know, we at Brown & Szaller represent personal injury victims throughout the state--and even in other states.

Last month, lawyers at Brown & Szaller represented, in arbitration, Dalkon Shield victims residing in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Toledo, Dayton, and fourteen other cities in Ohio, as well as clients in the states of Washington and Oregon. Other clients will eventually proceed to arbitration or trial as well.

The Dalkon Shield Claimants Trust still has 1.6 billion dollars available to pay Dalkon Shield claimants who have not yet resolved their claims. Eighty percent of the claims have been resolved for 900 million dollars, and although only 20% of the claims remain, 1.6 billion dollars remains in the Trust.

Jury trials should begin in 1995 for Ohio residents injured by the Dalkon Shield. It is expected that Brown & Szaller will be lead counsel for the majority of cases going to trial in Ohio. We will keep you up to date with the litigation as it continues.
