DuPuy hip implant defect claims - you may need a DePuy hip recall lawyer immediately

The failure rate of the DePuy hip implant system is approaching 15%, a figure that is down-right traumatic for patients who elected to have the Johnson & Johnson device surgically installed in their bodies. This rate of failure is the highest that our defective hip recall lawyers have seen in the past 15 years for any type of hip implant system. If you have a defective DePuy hip replacement system, you may be entitled to a cash settlement from Johnson & Johnson.

Patients who have the DePuy hip currently implanted in their body may require a revision surgery to remove the defective product and replace it with a hip implant from another manufacturer. Even if you are not experiencing current abnormal pain, it is wise to consult with your surgeon to find out whether the implant you have is one of the recalled lots. It is also important to contact a DePuy hip recall lawyer immediately to preserve the applicable statute of limitations in your case. The statute of limitations in these types of product liability cases against Johnson & Johnson will vary from state to state.

So what does it take to obtain a settlement or compensation for a DePuy hip recall injury claim? First, our lawyers must verify the make and serial number of your DePuy hip replacement. This is done by our lawyers requesting medical records from your surgeon. All of these costs are paid for by our law firm. In fact, if we determine that your DePuy hip is not part of the recall, you will owe us nothing for our costs and time expended investigating your case.

If a defective DePuy hip replacement is verified through our investigations, the next step for our attorneys is to put Johnson & Johnson on notice of a claim by filing a product liability lawsuit in Federal Court. This gets the ball rolling towards obtaining compensation for our clients. We take an aggressive approach in the handling of DePuy recall claims for compensation. This is the only way to go up against a large corporation such as J&J.
