Welcome to the newly redesigned DePuy Hip Recall Lawsuit and Claim Evaluation Center from the Rottenstein Law Group. You should find here everything you need or want to know about the faulty and dangerous hip devices manufactured—and recalled—by DePuy Orthopaedics… and what you should know about protecting and exercising your legal rights if you’ve been harmed by a defective DePuy hip implant.
If you think that you might have received an ASR device, you should immediately call your doctor, even if you’re not experiencing discomfort. DePuy has promised to pay for the cost of tests needed to determine if your hip is functioning well.
The recalled replacement hips manufactured by Johnson & Johnson/DePuy Orthopaedics did not become defective overnight. The evidence suggests that J&J has known for years that the products were defective.
Not all lawsuits go to trial; many settle out of court. In a DePuy hip replacement lawsuit, the facts are likely to be on your side… but the facts alone won’t determine the length of time your case takes to reach a resolution.
In 2010, DePuy issued a voluntary recall of its ASR Systems. In doing so, the company effectively admitted that it had manufactured defective hip devices with dangerous problems. But the company isn’t just writing checks to victims.
The devices have a 12-13 percent failure rate within the first few years of implantation. This failure rate is roughly double the industry average. Some surgeons believe that the ASR hip implant has a basic design flaw that makes it difficult to implant.
What replacement hip devices did DePuy recall? Didn’t the ASR devices have to be approved by the government? Will I need to sue DePuy? Do I need a lawyer to get compensation? What if I’m not in any pain or discomfort?
