Hip Replacement Litigation: Class Action vs. Individual Representation

When the average person hears the term class action they believe that someone is going to be held responsible for  something and that a big group has more clout than a small group.  A lot of people were injured and someone has to be made to pay and a class action provides the fastest and fairest way to make this happen.  Right?  This is a good theory that seldom works out in the manner we hope it will.

While Class Action lawsuits offer some benefits like efficiency, compensation for everyone involved and security in numbers there are also significant downsides.  When a group has problems it is expected that some are worse than others.  How do your issues stack up against the rest?  Will the person with minimal issues receive identical compensation for their injuries as you who may be more injured?  If the group judgment is large will there be funds to pay the judgment?  Class actions benefit people whose injuries are similar in nature such as a victim of a monetary fraud.

With the DePuy hip replacement the long term results can range from a great result all the way to death.  Some of the more severe have to undergo a replacement of the replacement and this can lead to more recovery and a lifetime of medical issues that may never resolve.

Hip Replacement Failure: What You Need To Do Now

Back in 2003 you were full of hope and optimism when the day finally came to get that new hip.  Finally you were going to be able to have pain free days, you could walk with your children and possible grandchildren to amusement parks and walk down the aisle at your child’s wedding.  They never prepared you for what could happen did they?

Today life is much different than before the surgery.  Now you have increased pain, walking is even more difficult and every day is a struggle because you just don’t feel well.  You have things happening to your body that no one including your general practitioner can explain and life is so darned difficult.  No one told you that the DePuy hip replacement could cause all of this and certainly not to this extent.

If you have had hip replacement surgery since 2003 this my all be explained by the device that was implanted.  Studies have shown that Cobalt can be released from the implant into the bloodstream and create a toxic condition in your body. 

Some of the issues you may experience can be;

• Confusion.
• Forgetfulness.
• Constant generalized pain.
• Malaise.
• Stomach  and G/I problems.
