A Message from personal injury lawyers O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath

With all of the great things about working for yourself, one of the major drawbacks is the lack of a good health care plan. It is all on your shoulders to make sure that you have good health care, so when something goes wrong, you need to be prepared. I have bum joints in my legs, both hips and knees, so it is quite likely that one of these days in the years to come, I might find myself in need of hip replacement surgery. I do not like the thought of it, but then things like the August 26, 2010 DePuy Orthopedics recall happen and I am made even less happy about the prospect of one day needing hip replacement surgery. I hate the thought of going through it once, but to possibly have to go through it twice - on the same hip? No thank you.

And yet, that is what happened to many people that had the ASR XL Acetabular Hip System and the DePuy ASR Hip Resurfacing System used in their hip replacement surgery. The issue affected surgeries performed after July 2003, and the Depuy recall was a voluntary recall issued by DePuy after the problems were discovered where roughly 1 in 8 hip replacement patients were requiring a second surgery within five years of their initial surgery.

The law offices of personal injury lawyers O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath, would like to invite you to contact them, information below, or to visit their website at the included link, and find out how they can assist you with your liability claim if you had hip surgery involving a DePuy product after July 2003.
