Exactech Inc. is headquartered in Gainesville, FL, but federal Exactech cases were centralized in MDL No. 3044 in the Eastern District of New York, which has been paused since November 1, 2024. Florida sets 4 years for injury claims based on a product's design or manufacture (Fla. Stat. § 95.11(3)(d)); a lawyer can check which limit applies.
Fla. Stat. § 95.11(3)(d) sets a four-year limitations period for injury actions founded on the design, manufacture, distribution or sale of personal property; counsel should confirm which limitations period applies to each claim.
Florida leads the Southeast in knee and hip replacement volume, driven by its large retiree population and medical tourism. High-volume Exactech implant sites include AdventHealth Orlando, Jackson Memorial (Miami), and Tampa General.
Florida plaintiffs in the Southern, Middle, or Northern District may file locally; federal Exactech cases are transferred to MDL No. 3044 in the Eastern District of New York before Judge Nicholas G. Garaufis.
