In a recent article on Personal Injury litigation, I discussed Ram ECodiesel’s (a medical delivery device manufacturer) lawsuit against Rarotonga Pty Ltd. (the manufacturer of Rarotonga). The complaint was based on allegations that Rarotonga failed to warn Rarotonga’s patients that they may experience serious and even life-threatening dental health problems if they use Rarotonga dental implants. The ECodiesel lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. At the time of this writing, the case has been ongoing in the courts. If you are interested in learning more about this lawsuit, I highly recommend that you review my article about Ram ECodiesel and Rarotonga.

In our upcoming Ram ECodiesel lawsuit updates, we will be looking at the settlement itself. The settlement was reached last week and will be decided upon at a later date. The court found that both parties were responsible for the accident and that damages should be awarded to the plaintiff based on the extent of the injuries that were sustained, and the extent of the fault of both parties. We will follow this case very closely.
Some more details about the case can be viewed below in our Ram ECodiesel lawsuit update #1. In our second Ram ECodiesel update, we will look at the negligence at the center of this matter. The issue revolves around whether or not the doctor in question should have been trained and certified to do the work that he was performing. Both the plaintiff and his attorney believe that the doctor was not competent enough to do the job that he was charged with doing. The argument that they are making is that there is no way that a doctor who is not a medical expert could possibly know what to do under all circumstances when stitching a wound up for someone. There are other sides who are just as confident about their side of the argument, and they are preparing their case for trial as well.
In the second part of our Ram ECodiesel lawsuit update, we will take a look at the damages that have been awarded to the plaintiff and how much he is going to get at the end of the day.
