Chaffin Luhana LLP is pleased to announce the launch of a new website, DePuyHipLitigation.info, which will provide vital information concerning the DePuy Orthopedics’ DePuy Hip Replacement System Recall. The site will help patients determine if they’ve been injured by these products and whether they are entitled to legal remedies.
Some patients who received the ASR
DePuy Hip Replacement System, approved in 2005 allegedly suffered from the following problems: (1) dislocation or loosening of the implant components; (2) fracture of the bone surrounding the implant, and (3) debris formation in the metal-on-metal bearing joint replacement system with resulting inflammation and tissue damage. By 2009, three hundred patients had allegedly suffered from such malfunctions. In 2010, a study by the National Joint Registry of England and Wales demonstrated that both DePuy’s partial ASR Hip Resurfacing System and its more traditional ASR XL Acetablular System failed in 12%-13% of the patients who received them. DePuy Orthopedics informed physicians of implant failures possibly in excess of normal rates, but it was not until August 26, 2010 that the company placed a recall on its ASR DePuy Hip Replacement System.
DePuy hip litigation looks to hold DePuy Orthopedics legally and financially responsible for its allegedly negligent conduct in order to assist patients who may have been injured by the hip replacement systems under recall. Such patients could ultimately be eligible for a
DePuy Hip Settlement, which could help patients with medical costs associated with future doctors’ visits and additional corrective surgery.
Through DePuyHipLitigation.info, Chaffin Luhana’s legal staff can help patients evaluate their potential cases, as well as help those who are potentially eligible for a settlement initiate a claim against DePuy Orthopedics. Mr.
Eric Chaffin, a former federal prosecutor, and Ms.
Roopal Luhana have several years of experience representing injured consumers and shareholders, and have recovered, individually or along with co-counsel, over
$900 million for their clients. They share modest working-class backgrounds, reputations as thought leaders in consumer products liability law, and a deep commitment to helping those who have been injured by large corporations.
