DePuy

DePuy Orthopaedics, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, developed the Pinnacle and ASR hip implants for patients with active lifestyles. Unfortunately, both products have increased failure rates, leading to complications such as metallosis.

Did You Miss the DePuy ASR Hip Settlement Deadline?

The $2.5 billion settlement agreement announced in November 2013 was for patients with the recalled DePuy ASR hip implant. What you need to know is that the settlement only applies to people who had revision surgery on or before January 31, 2015. If you have not had a revision surgery, you are not covered by this settlement.

Nash & Franciskato Law Firm is accepting ASR hip implant cases that do not qualify for the settlement — these are referred to as “out of deadline” cases. While you may not be able to participate in the settlement program, you still may have a case. Contact us immediately to discuss your situation.

DePuy ASR Hip Recall

The DePuy ASR metal on metal hip recall has turned into one of the largest medical device failures in history. Almost 100,000 of these hip replacements were surgically implanted into patients worldwide. Only now are the debilitating effects surfacing, including pain, dislocation, loosening, and chromium and cobalt metal poisoning. Many DePuy hip patients are facing their second or even third revision surgery to replace the defective ASR hip joints.

Mistakes That Can Hurt Your ASR Hip Recall Case

Don’t Sign Anything. Don’t Send Anything.

Johnson & Johnson hired a company called Broadspire to handle patient claims. Broadspire collects medical records, sends out complicated forms to fill out, and their adjustors even decide if a patient qualifies for another surgery. Don’t give them your private medical records. The information they want can be used against you later on if you decide to go to court. Broadspire was hired to manage the DePuy ASR hip recall for Johnson & Johnson, not for you.

Don’t Call the DePuy Hotline before Talking to an Attorney

Again, these companies will try to limit their liability in your case. Any information you hand over to them can be used against you later on in court. Before you do anything, talk to a medical product liability lawyer, like the experienced attorneys at the Nash & Franciskato Law Firm.


Pinnacle: Another Faulty DePuy Hip Implant

While no recall of the Pinnacle hip implant has been issued yet, lawsuits have been filed as more and more people experience serious medical problems with the hip implant, such as:

  • Metal poisoning
  • Infection
  • Dislocation
  • Bone fracture
  • Loosening of the device
  • Nerve, muscle and bone damage
  • Immobility
  • Device failure and hip replacement revision surgery

Even if you are not having any symptoms, you should consider talking with a lawyer familiar with metal on metal hip cases.
