If you had hip-replacement surgery after 2003, contact Weitz & Luxenberg without delay.
Don’t end up as one of the thousands of hip-replacement patients who waited too long to take action.
Talking to us today could soon put in your pocket or purse a substantial amount of money as compensation paid to you by those responsible for making and supplying the artificial hip you received.
Several makes and models of artificial hips have been found over the years to cause harm to patients who received them. Among the manufacturers of suspect artificial hips are DePuy Orthopaedics, Zimmer, Wright Medical and Biomet.
Signs of harm include one or more of the following:
* Pain
* Swelling
* Numbness
* Any change in your ability to walk
* Metallosis (a condition where deposits of cobalt or chromium debris from a metal-on-metal replacement accumulate in surrounding soft tissues, potentially causing psuedotumors and/or a joint-dislocating rash)
These signs can be an indication that your artificial-hip surgery needs to be re-done, but this time using safer, more reliable implant technology.
Your doctor will be able to tell you when and under what circumstances a “revision” surgery of your artificial hip is advisable.
But Weitz & Luxenberg will be able to tell you how much money you may be entitled to receive from the corporations involved in making and selling the artificial hip implanted within your body. For example, you may be entitled to payment that covers the cost of re-hospitalization and the do-over surgery (a cost you would otherwise have to pay out of your own pocket in the event you’re uninsured or if your medical-insurance provider refuses for whatever reason to cover the expense.).
You might also be entitled to money to make up for wages you lose by not being able to work as a result of the symptoms and/or revision surgery plus postoperative recovery.
And you might even be entitled to money to ease the pain and suffering you perhaps experienced as a result of having to go through this ordeal in the first place. Indeed, when you originally received your artificial hip, your expectation was that the implant would give you long, trouble-free years of use, that you would be able to return to the more active lifestyle you enjoyed before your natural hip developed problems requiring this particular remedy. You didn’t bargain for pain. You didn’t ask for swelling. You didn’t think you’d be hobbled, unable to carry on with your daily routine.
Because of all that, you deserve to be made whole – or, at least as whole as money can make someone in your situation.
Please take a moment to complete the electronic form below and tell us about your hip-replacement surgery. Or, for even faster action, call us at (800) 476-6070.
