Update for the Dow Corning British Columbia breast implant class action settlement

All of our clients’ claims were submitted before the deadline. Approved raw materials claimants will receive $330 US in 2006. Approved expedited claims will receive $1,200 US later this year. Approved disease claims will be paid in three annual installments. Although it was anticipated that the first installments would be paid in July or August 2005, there is a backlog of claims which will delay the payment until later this year. Cheques for disease claims will not be issued until the Claims Administrator has completed the claims review process and has determined how many eligible claims there are in each disease category. Once we have that information, we will update this message and provide an update by mail to all of our clients. Thank you for your continued patience.

You can obtain more information about this settlement on the Tort Claimants Committee’s website at www.tortcomm.org or at www.sfdct.com or at the Canadian Claims Administrator: www.canadianbreastplantsettlement.com.
