Compensation for Product Liability Lawsuits Caused by Defective Hip Implants
Hip replacement surgeries have become increasingly common in the United States, with over 450,000 procedures performed in 2023. In Wisconsin, 1.25% of the state’s population has undergone hip replacement surgery – significantly higher than the national average of 0.83%.
Defective hip implants have caused devastating complications for countless patients, leading to additional surgeries, ongoing health issues and significant financial stress. Metal-on-metal hip replacements have been linked to severe complications with lasting impacts on patient’s health and quality of life. Between 2008 and 2022, the FDA received more than 29,000 adverse event reports related to hip replacements.
If you’ve had complications from a hip replacement device, the experienced attorneys at Warshafsky Law are here to help you seek justice and compensation.
Many patients have experienced serious complications from defective hip implants, including:Â
Thousands of hip replacement recipients have filed product liability claims against manufacturers like Stryker, DePuy and others to seek compensation for injuries caused by defective implants. Many cases have been consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL), which allows individuals with similar claims to join together in pursuing legal action while maintaining their right to individual compensation. Defective hip replacement MDLs have already resulted in billions of dollars in settlements, and new claims continue to be filed as more patients experience compensation. If you’ve received a hip implant from any major manufacturer and experienced complications, you may be eligible to join existing MDL cases or file an individual lawsuit.
If you experience any of the following symptoms after your hip replacement, you may have received a defective device:
Hip Pain Linger Persistent pain in the hip or groin area
Redness or Swelling Swelling or redness around the surgical site
Walking Still Difficult Difficulty walking or decreased mobility after the time frame where you should have recovered
