Where would my case be heard?
Georgia, anchored by Atlanta's major orthopedic surgery centers, is a significant Exactech recall market. Georgia's 2-year products liability SOL requires prompt action from patients who received recall notification in 2022 or have since experienced implant failure.
Georgia applies a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury product-liability claims under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. Georgia also recognizes the discovery rule for latent injuries, tolling the period until the plaintiff discovered or reasonably should have discovered the link between the implant failure and the Exactech recall.
Georgia's orthopedic volume is centered in the Atlanta metro area, with Emory Orthopaedics & Spine, Piedmont Healthcare, and WellStar Health System performing significant joint replacement volumes. Georgia is home to a large active senior population in metro Atlanta and coastal communities, correlating with substantial Exactech device exposure.
Georgia plaintiffs file in the N.D. Ga. (Atlanta) or M.D. Ga./S.D. Ga. A JPML conditional transfer order then routes the action to MDL No. 3044 in the Eastern District of New York.
