A schedule for the first jury trials against Exactech will be discussed in federal court later this month as part of the growing litigation over the company’s failed medical devices. You can view the court’s case management order here. The first case to reach trial in New York federal court will take at least another year of litigation, as the current schedule calls for depositions and other work to take place between now and December 2024. Final pretrial motions will be filed no later than February 2025.
