Morgan and Morgan is pleased to announce that attorney Michael Goetz will be speaking at an upcoming conference titled “DePuy Hip Recall and Avandia Updates.” The conference is presented by HB Litigation Conferences and will take place on Nov. 3, 2010 at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach Hotel in Miami, Florida.
The conference will feature leading tort lawyers and specialists who will discuss the legal implications and medical issues surrounding the DePuy
hip implant recall and Avandia, a diabetes drug which has been linked to heart attack and heart failure. Mr. Goetz will be one of five attorneys scheduled to speak in a conference segment titled “Critical Facts for Your Case.” Topics discussed in this segment will include the following: the extent of the DePuy hip implant recall; the manufacturer’s knowledge of the
hip implant defect; advice for counseling clients on medical and legal concerns; and techniques for measuring damages in hip implant recall lawsuits. For a complete conference agenda, please visit http://litigationconferences.com/.
A provider of continuing legal education, HB Litigation Conferences LLC produces fully-accredited conferences on prominent issues in mass torts and other practices areas. In September 2010, HB announced that the DePuy hip implant recall and type 2 diabetes drug Avandia would be the focus of its Nov. 3 conference. Both the medical hip replacement system and prescription diabetes drug have received attention in recent months from legal and medical professionals alike. In August 2010, DePuy Orthopaedics announced a recall of two DePuy ASR hip replacement systems due to an unreasonably high failure rate among patients, many of whom required corrective surgery. Avandia has not been the subject of a defective product recall; however, due to the cardiovascular side effects of Avandia, the FDA has recently placed new, strict limitations on the drug’s usage, making it a last-resort treatment option for diabetics.
