About Navan Ward
Navan Ward joined Beasley Allen in 2002 and works in the Atlanta office. He focuses on products liability cases, particularly those involving defective metal-on-metal hip implants and proton pump inhibitors. He has also helped spearhead the Hair Relaxer litigation in both federal and state courts. Navan has secured billions in settlements against major hip implant manufacturers including Johnson and Johnson, DePuy, Zimmer, Biomet, and Stryker. He served as President of the American Association for Justice from 2021 to 2022, the world's largest plaintiffs' lawyers organization, and has chaired the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association.
Proven verdicts and settlements
In early 2014, Biomet agreed to pay at least $56 million to settle about 1,000 federal lawsuits over its M2a 38 and M2a Magnum metal-on-metal hip implants, consolidated in the Northern District of Indiana. Qualifying patients who had the device revised received a base award of $200,000, adjusted by individual factors. Thomas Anapol was court-appointed Co-Lead Counsel with W. Mark Lanier and signed the agreement for the Plaintiffs' Executive Committee. The figure covers many unrelated plaintiffs, is a reported minimum rather than a final total, and is not itemized by person.
