The Alloderm skin-graft is designed to help people with severe burns and other injuries. Unfortunately, for years it was sold without warnings about pre-stretching the skin graft before surgery. As a result, many people were injured.
Alloderm Class Action Lawsuit Information
Hundreds of Alloderm lawsuits have already been filed, but these are not part of a class action. Instead, they are individual lawsuits filed by people who hired their own attorney. Over 300 lawsuits are pending in a Multi-County Litigation (MCL) in Middlesex County, New Jersey. Although this centralized litigation is similar to a class action, each lawsuit is an independent case that can have its own outcome. Click here to read more.

About Class Actions
Class action lawsuits make sense when there are a lot of people who have essentially the same legal claim. Instead of everyone filing a lawsuit alone, plaintiffs hire a law firm to fight for compensation on behalf of the entire group. Class actions are an ideal way for thousands of people to seek compensation, such as reimbursement for purchasing a defective product. However, class actions can also have disadvantages for people with severe injuries. Members of class actions are often forced into higher attorneys’ fees or a “low-ball” settlement offer.
The Schmidt Firm, PLLC has been recognized as one of the nation’s leading plaintiffs' law firms and handles cases in all 50 states. We are very proud of our legal achievements, but equally self-respecting of our firm's reputation for providing personal attention to each and every client we represent.
