Serving Victims of Dangerous Medical Products in Miami
Thousands of lawsuits have been filed against most of the major hip implant manufacturers in the last few years. There has been an epidemic of early failures of hip implant devices. A few of the types of implants that are involved in these lawsuits are the Stryker Rejuvenate, Stryker Accolade, DePuy ASR, DePuy Pinnacle, Wright Medical Converse, Wright Profemur, and the Encore hip implants. Hip replacements are meant to restore mobility to individuals with hip injuries. Unfortunately, they sometimes fail because the device itself is defective. A defect in a medical product will likely affect not just one but dozens or even hundreds of consumers. When a number of individuals are hurt by the same defective product, the group can take collective action for their injuries through mass tort litigation. At Shamis & Gentile, P.A. , we can provide capable representation in these lawsuits. We work with numerous hip replacement attorneys that are experienced in handling mass tort actions. We have the ability and resources to represent your interests.
Hip Replacements
Hip replacements are prosthesis, or artificial parts, that are surgically implanted into a person’s body to replace an injured or damaged joint. The goal of these devices is to restore hip function, increase mobility, and relieve pain. If a hip replacement is defective, however, the device can cause serious damage. Resulting injuries can include:
• Fractures or shattered devices
• Heavy metal poisoning or toxicity if the metal corrodes
• Bone chipping and loss
• Infection
Recent recalls of hip replacements manufactured by Stryker Orthopaedics and DePuy Orthopaedics raise concerns about the safety of these devices.
