DePuy’s Pinnacle hip replacement system might have caused recipients harm. Some are filing lawsuits, alleging that the device is defective.
The Pinnacle system is currently under scrutiny. You could have a claim against the company if you’ve suffered as a result of the failure of a replacement hip device you received.
If you’ve needed revision surgery or suffered the symptoms of metal toxicity because of your hip replacement device, then you might be entitled to compensation for your injuries—including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
DePuy’s Pinnacle was marketed to younger patients who sought to maintain an active lifestyle after surgery. But recipients are complaining about the Pinnacle’s apparent propensity to loosen just a few years after implantation.
In March 2010, the New York Times reported on metal-on-metal hip replacement systems. According to researchers, these systems cause patients to develop abnormally high concentrations of heavy metals in the bloodstream.
Although there is no way to predict the amount of money that one will receive in a successful lawsuit without a close examination of the facts, if you have been harmed one thing is for certain: You are entitled to restitution for your injuries.
