DePuy Hip Recall Lawsuit
If you have been affected by the recent DePuy hip recall, then you could be looking at pain, suffering and financial complications. In August 2010, DePuy Orthopedics announced that two of these most popular hip replacement systems were being recalled due to a high failure rate. Although filing a lawsuit will not make the pain go away or stop the inevitable second revision surgery from occurring, it can provide you with financial relief for your pain and suffering.
If you have experienced the side effects or a second surgery due to DePuy Orthopedics, then you could be eligible for financial compensation.

DePuy Hip Replacement Litigation
Because of the high failure rate and complications associated with Depuy hip replacement, DePuy Orthopedics claims to cover “reasonable and customary costs of monitoring and treatment.” However, is this enough? One of the biggest complications surrounding this compensation is that you will need to go through the private health insurance companies, which, in turn, can cost you your legal rights. In some instances, you could also end up having a lawsuit filed against you by Medicare or ERISA health insurance carriers.
Another complication is that the rebate you receive will most likely not be enough to cover the complications and financial suffering you have endured, especially if you have had to undergo a second revision surgery.

Recent DePuy Lawsuits
Many patients suffering from a Depuy hip replacement are concerned about how filing a lawsuit can help them. There are currently several lawsuits that have been followed on account of:
- Manufacturing of a defective product
- Failure to warn patients and doctors of problems with the implant
- Negligence in designing, manufacturing and selling the product
Winning a lawsuit can provide you with the answers to those unanswered questions, financial compensation for your pain and suffering as well as legal justice for this unfair treatment. Johnson and Johnson may be a multibillion dollar company but this does not mean you deserve this unfair treatment. It has been suggested that DePuy Orthopedics knew that their products were defective long before the recall came in 2010. This has lead to controversy surrounding medical malpractice and false advertising.
