Hip Replacement Lawsuit:
Lawyer for DePuy Lawsuit and Investigation
In the video below product liability attorney Fred Pritzker discusses the Depuy hip replacement recall and a Johnson & Johnson (J & J) and DePuy lawsuit for injuries that incude revision surgery and chromium poisoning.
DePuy Hip Replacement Lawsuit Hearing
A process similar to a DePuy class action lawsuit was approved by a federal court. The process is called multidistrict litigation (MDL), and it consolidates the pre-trial processes for all DePuy lawsuits and gives jurisdiction for all cases to one federal court:
On the basis of the papers filed and the hearing session held, we find that seven of these eight actions involve common questions of fact, and that centralization under Section 1407 in the Northern District of Ohio will serve the convenience of the parties and witnesses and promote the just and efficient conduct of the litigation. The actions share factual issues as to whether DePuy’s ASR XL Acetabular Hip System, a device used in hip replacement surgery, was defectively designed and/or manufactured, and whether DePuy failed to provide adequate warnings concerning the device, which DePuy recalled along with another ASR device, the ASR Hip Resurfacing System, in August 2010. Centralization under Section 1407 will eliminate duplicative discovery, prevent inconsistent pretrial rulings on discovery and other issues, and conserve the resources of the parties, their counsel and the judiciary. (Read the full MDL order.)
Contact our law firm to be part of the MDL. The lead attorneys for our DePuy lawsuits are Fred Pritzker and David Szerlag.

Compensation for Victims
of Dangerous and Defective Medical Products
A medical device is defective if there is a design defect, a manufacturing defect (often too much of an active ingredient) or the labeling and any other warnings are insufficient to warn of risks. The law states that manufacturers must alert consumers to the possible problems and side effects their medical products can cause.
Thousands of people receive injuries from unsafe medical products each year. Those injuries deserve compensation, which can include the following:
- Economic damages. Compensation for monetary losses such as past and future medical expenses, loss of past and future earnings, loss of employment or business opportunities.
- Non-economic damages. Compensation for subjective, non-monetary losses such as pain, suffering, inconvenience, emotional distress, loss of society and companionship, loss of consortium, and loss of enjoyment of life.
- Punitive damages. Damages awarded for the purpose of punishing a party for intentional or reckless behavior or actions motivated by malice.
