Medical Device Failure of Depuy Hips ASR Cups

If you are suffering from symptoms that you think may be related to a medical device failure such as a faulty hip replacement, and are uncertain if you were given a defective medical device, contact your orthopedic surgeon immediately.  It is important that you determine whether or not you were fitted with a defective product, or the victim of malpractice and negligence, so that you can seek the advice of a medical malpractice attorney. Your primary care physician or the hospital where the surgery took place should be able to provide you with the name of your surgeon if you can’t recall who performed the original surgery. A medical bill advocate can help you with the details of your medical device failure and/or malpractice and negligence suit.

You may be in need of additional surgery. If that is the case, everything will have to be documented as explained by your medical malpractice attorney. Ask your medical malpractice attorney what has worked for others in your circumstances, as you may need a medical bill advocate.

There is currently a medical malpractice lawsuit going on in Utah against hip replacement manufacturer DePuy Orthopedics, Inc because of the failure of many of the DePuy ASR metal-on-metal hip replacements.

The patients in the suit are represented by an alliance of law firms pursuing claims on behalf of patients across the nation with failed DePuy ASR hip replacements. That means if you have problems with your hip replacement your medical malpractice attorney can protect your rights.If you have a DePuy ASR hip replacement or hip resurfacing, and are experiencing problems with the device, you need to consult with an experienced medical product liability attorney immediately. It is best to retain an attorney before undergoing a revision surgery so that potentially important evidence can be preserved for your Utah medical malpractice case.

Furthermore, by law there is a limited period of time in which you may bring a legal action against DePuy for a failed ASR hip system, so don’t delay.
