This settlement covers people who had a hernia repair during bariatric surgery performed by Dr. Robert B. Shin or Dr. Samuel Rossi at Charleston Area Medical Center facilities between April 5, 2015 and April 4, 2025. Every eligible person who does not opt out receives a Guaranteed Fund Payment without having to prove harm or complications from the hiatal hernia procedure. People who suffered certain specific complications may instead file a claim for a Contingent Fund Payment, which varies based on the complications experienced after surgery. The case is a class action in the Circuit Court of Kanawha County, West Virginia, and the court has preliminarily approved the settlement. Your options include objecting, going to the final fairness hearing to speak about an objection, opting out to keep your right to sue, or doing nothing and receiving a payment. The page says that if the settlement is approved and appeals are resolved, you should receive at least one check. The objection, hearing, and opt-out deadline is October 13, 2026. Review the notice for details on how to submit claim forms and any documentation needed.
We're not a law firm; the official settlement site has the final word.
