What are the payouts for the earplug lawsuits?
These lawsuits are just now being processed in various courts of law across the U.S.
Three recent questions about combat earplug lawsuits people are asking us.
- How much can you sue for an earplug lawsuit?
- How much compensation would I get from the 3M earplug lawsuit?
- How much is the settlements from the combat earplug lawsuits?
The answer to these questions can be difficult to predict, as the possible MDL (Multi-district lawsuit) for this hasn’t started yet. There is still time for join in this 3M earplug lawsuit, but there are statutes of limitations that apply.
Some of the past defective device lawsuits have had millions of dollars set in a compensation fund, and then that is divided up between all who have joined the lawsuit. Example: $100,000,000 in a settlement fund that would serve 1,000 victims would be $100,000 per person. This is only an example and does not represent what may happen for these 3M earplugs.
3M knew about the failed safety tests of the CAEv2 Dual-Ended Combat Arms earplugs.
3M now has to pay a large $9.1 million dollar fine brought to light by a 3M employee who went public with internal ear plug testing information. The original earplug design was provided by Aearo Technologies which may have known as early as 2000 that the designs were flawed in various tests. 3M didn’t re-design these plugs, they simply sold them to the Department of Defense.
Assistant Attorney General Chad Readler made this statement: “Government contractors who seek to profit at the expense of our military will face appropriate consequences.”
