DePuy Hip Replacement Lawsuit Information Site
DePuy Orthopaedics recalled its ASR replacement hip system because its components can come loose, fracturing the bone around the implant, depositing metal fragments in the bloodstream, and causing pseudotumors. Now you need the right lawyers for your DePuy hip replacement lawsuit.
Twelve percent of recipients of an ASR replacement hip require revision surgery because ASR devices can deteriorate and fail completely. If you experience any of the following symptoms—hip, thigh, or groin pain… pain while walking, rising from a seated position, or bearing weight… or swelling—it could be a sign that your ASR hip unit is defective.
If your DePuy hip replacement device was recalled, you deserve compensation for your injuries—including out-of-pocket costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. DePuy is not just going to write you a check, though. To get the most compensation possible, you’ll need a lawyer to stand up to DePuy for you.
You’ve just learned about the worldwide recall of Johnson & Johnson/DePuy Orthopaedics’s ASR XL Acetabular System and ASR Hip Resurfacing System. You want to know what to do now. What you might want to do is consider legal action. And in that case, you’ll want to talk to an attentive advocate who will put your needs above all other concerns.
If you have a recalled ASR XL Acetabular System or ASR Hip Resurfacing System, you’ve probably heard conflicting accounts concerning how much DePuy is willing to pay ASR injury victims.
When ASR hip units deteriorate, they deposit pieces of toxic metal into a recipient’s bloodstream. Your body’s tissues may react by forming pseudotumors. In extreme cases, the ASR hip units fail completely.
J&J/DePuy knew that its products were dangerous for some time. But despite acknowledging the problems with the ASR devices, DePuy continued to market them until the worldwide recall.
