The total settlement for 1,194 victims is for $2.375-million. Lawyers will get $400,000 and $75,000 has been earmarked for administrative costs.

Wednesday was the deadline for more than 1,200 patients named in the class action to opt out of the proposed settlement. Lawyer Harvey Strosberg of Stutts Strosberg LLP, the co-counsel in the lawsuit, says the majority of the patients are unopposed.
